Spotted by my wife and I (but not the dog we were walking, who never even saw it).

Nice capture but I was a bit confused at first. The shadow makes it look like it has a duck bill


One day I was walking on the street and somebody handed me a camera. I looked at them and said, "This is not a Canon, what do I look like? A charity case?" So I took it, and THREW IT ON THE GROUND!

Nice catch, but your dog's useless... :)

Wow... Good call on that one! That's exactly what it is. Native to Australia, but very rare. Related to the platypus. The closest thing that we have in the States is the Jackalope. I managed to grab a couple of shots on my last trip Down Under.

Man, I thought squirrels were as cool as they could get...WRONG. Is it bad that I want one on my wall?

interesting choice, the duck bill. I would imagine a small elephant trunk would be amusing also..
