Agreed with reviewers, Jannie, guessing like others...i can think of several wild creatures i have tripped upon in the forests of Northern Minnesota, my favorite by far which has even alighted on my arm to chat is the Raven, they can mimic like a Parrot, and tilt their head with understanding...gotta stay calm tho!

Hi James. Northern Minnesota the? Its really nice to know where folks come from on PS. We have Indian Mynah here that also so darn clever but theyve become a pest now. A lot of people are killing them as they are aggressive to local bird live

Love Manatee's. They're the sirens of the sea, beautiful mermaids. For some reason I'm envisaging a voluptuous damsel reclining in some Rubens painting...
