"Are you laughing at ME? Because I don't see any other bats here."

Great work Grav

B-o-P did turn his head and look at me photographing him. I'm three feet away here with an 8x zoom.

Since January of this year, the Montgomery County Health Department has received reports of 7 positive Animal Rabies cases in Montgomery County: 3 raccoons Salford Township (1), Perkiomen Township (1), and Towamencin Township (1), and 2 skunks Upper Merion Township (1) and Upper Moreland Township (1), and 2 bats Horsham Township (1) and now in Upper Merion Township (1).


Bat of Prussia is missing his Bros he had wild and crazy fun with. :haha:

Aw crap. Well what do you think I should do?

They are close, but Bat of Prussia doesn't seem distressed, and you don't have a pet, so just don't handle him. Or train him to attack JWs and salesmen. ;)

I read up and bat to human rabies transmission is very rare, like one case per year or so. You pretty much have to be bit, and in order for that to happen they pretty much have to be in the house.

That's what I understood, the big danger is them getting indoors and freaking out.

It didn't click when Digr posted the don't care picture, went right over my head. :o So I did a Google image search and got nothing.
Then I Googled Bat of Prussia, and half the links on the first page were companies who do bat removal in King of Prussia. That warranted further investigation.

Go ahead, pick 'em up...Whaddya mean 'you don't want 'em'?

I tawt I taw a puddy tat

I LOL'd, loudly, @ the 10 second mark..."Ah, shit!!"...:lol2:


That cougar looks to have an abscess/cyst or something on his neck/jaw area. Some kind of swelling.


ETA: Deer get those in the lower chest between the front legs sometimes. Usually filled with liquid (colloquially called a 'water cyst'), and harmless.

Life in Africa... notice the perimeter of pointy stones to discourage animals.
Bet they wish it was just the dog. :haha:

Loved that vid, Grav.
That walker has balls of steel - does all the right things.

Bruce, I have always had a slightly shuddery reaction to elephants. Even those I met close-up in Sri Lanka. That photo, to me, is more unhappy than most of those in the nightmare thread.

Score one for nature.

That's a well-done newscast by ABC.

But maybe the Ranger saying "Yellowstone is wild" is something of an exaggeration.
And a collar on a predator (1:40 mark) is not a Yellowstone pet tag.

I had to play the bit around the 1.40 mark a couple of times as I couldn't believe how close to the bear those people were in the hopes of getting a good photo!

Couldn't they just leave these things to National Geographic or the Discovery Channel? :eek:

It's funny, those folks wouldn't have paid $50-$100 to see a bear, but yet, they're willing to put their life and/or the lives of others on the line...People are stupid.
