Creatures

Anteater's with their incredible 2 foot tongue Bison their hides, one time under the gun Cheetah's my, can they run Dolphins bringing so much fun. Elephants, Indian and African by the size of their ears Fin Whales hunted, we share their fears Giraffes so elegant long necked and tall Hummingbirds hover, and never fall. Insects, so varied in size and shape Jackals howl as they relate to their mates Kodiak, the island bears Lobsters, caught, creeled and snared. Mammoth, the awesome beast from the past Nymph, insect larva's showing species may last Octopus, tentacled dude of the sea Plankton, the only food that is free. Queen Bee, on the throne with her drones Rhino with their keratin horns Salmon living, return to spawn and die Thrush, singing songs in tune as they fly. Uakari, the Amazon new world monkey Vulture's make the ground carrion free Whippets a joy, as you watch them race Xerus, the squirrel - the grounds his place. Yak, the bovine of Himalayan heights Zebra, white equids with their black stripes.

Love this one. The animal kingdom is so varied and when one loves at some of them we know that God must have had a sense of humor. Sara
