The monkey in amongst all the Carp is brilliant

I havent posted posted on this thread for ages, so thought it was time to start again. These pictures are from 4th Oct. Some we have seen before but there are new ones to us as well.

  Littlewid, good to see these again and there are always some great shots, some interesting ones and some really weird ones!

We've visited the giraffe place in Karen and watched people feeding them from their mouths  I stuck to using my hands as somehow giraffe spit didn't appeal to me

  Littlewid. My laptop is on a go slow at the moment so I could only look at them in the thumbnails at the top rather than the full size picture but I did get the idea of them all.

Good to see this thread again, sometimes the photos are controversial but sometimes they are stunning and so worth looking at.

Lai   

You are right Lai there are always some controversial ones and there is this week too from some stories in the past week but also some good ones too.

Glad you enjoyed them Doogs, I love looking at them too, some we have always seen before but there are always some we haven't.

Here's this weeks pictures.

  Littlewid, another interesting selection. I can still only look at the thumbnails for some reason my laptop is being a bit temperamental but I got the general idea of them. Those poor cows in the back of the car    I hope they are okay and the idiots who were trying to rustle them are now locked up!

Here's this weeks selection guy's. Some we have seen but again a lot we haven't and there really are some good ones and more this week. Enjoy.

Thanks Littlewid. I will try this again later as the small thumbnail doesn't do the pics justice and I can't get the whole ones to work, it just whirrs

Lai it is peculiar. I think its the way the link works in explorer. I know this sounds mad but it does the same to me so what I do is open the link then on the arrows for the picture I click on them as if I was going to look at each picture......and your right they don't show.......but if you then click to go backwards toward the beginning for each picture they display as normal. I know that sounds daft but it does work........just one of those weird anomalies of technology    give it a go and let me know if it works for you.

Thanks Littlewid, it worked, and now I check above, Doogs suggested the same thing, so now I can see them properly   

Another interesting selection, amongst them, such a stunning peacock, and the swan swimming through Henley shows how awful the floods were. The Lab with the woman doing yoga is just brilliant    but the bulls         

Thanks Doogs and Littlewid - I've finally cracked it   

Lai   

I missed posting these on Saturday, so here they are now, a little late but better late than never

Thanks Littlewid. Some great photos there and .... I just have to comment in particular on 3!

Meatball the obese cat    no way, how could you let your cat get that large?
Dyes chicks       poor wee things
Performing hippos - that is totally disgraceful and shocking, what on earth is that about? The lack of dignity for these performing animals is shocking and I have to ask how they taught hippos to do that? Not through kindness for sure      

Pixie greyhound and Reilly rabbit        wonderful photo.

Lai

Lai I agree about those 3 pictures, it's maddening when you see things like that but they always make the pictures of the week for some reason. The hippos is a disgrace and supports why we filled in the Q/A for performing animals. That poor cat, you really feel sorry for him, as you say, how can owners let their animals get so big, it is just so unfair on them and yes colouring chicks is just not on, why do people do these things, its beyond me. thankfully there are always some gorgeous wildlife ones as well and that's why I always look at these.

  Littlewid, I didn't mean to only highlight the ones that made me   as some of them were lovely as ever.
