Personally, I don’t think you should be allowed to call an animal a “giant” unless they’re at least twice as big as the average human.

Spotted Wobbegong
The books say these are also called “carpet sharks” because of their striking patterning, but I have to believe that the fact that they lay on the bottom of the ocean floor has something to do with it as well.
Vulturine Guinea
Vulturine Guinea wondering how a single person walking barefoot on gravel could have been inspired to invent both Legos and D&D dice.
Ring Tailed Cat
This is one of the harder critters to photograph. You have to use flash, but they’re active, so you have to track them in the dark and hope that everything works when you push the trigger.
This is one of the better photos I’ve gotten of them, but I’m a bit disappointed that you can’t see the tail.
(P.S. they’re not really cats, they’re just called that)
Red Fronted Macaw
Sideburns are a hard look to pull off.
Cape Barren Goose
Sraml, Christidis, Easteal, Horn and Collet, in their work “Molecular Relationships Within Australasian Waterfowl” call the Cape Barren Goose “a most peculiar goose of uncertain affiliations”
This is exactly you should never vote to confirm one for the supreme court.
Ocellated Turkey
I think we need more ocellated animals, whatever their type.
Cheetah
This cheetah had heard it all before and doesn’t believe that this time will be any different.
BrownTufted Capuchin
Monkey puzzled at how it can be 45 degrees and 78 degrees at the same time.
Peafowl
Two out of three ain’t bad.
BrownTufted Capuchin
Monkeys have yet to learn the dangers of the Goa’uld.
Discus
Three fish who have suddenly realized that they are COMPLETELY SURROUNDED by water.
Blue Crowned Pigeon
“Let them eat seed cake.”
Black Backed Jackal
Jackel wondering why all of Major Tom’s direct reports have been erased from the narrative.
Bichir
Wikipedia informs me that bichir “make good tankmates with other species large enough not to be prey” which, really, is a good general rule for many social interactions.
Asian Water Monitor
This water monitor is upset that the only summer job he could get was a lifeguard at the local pool. Stereotyping, that’s what this is.
Amazon Parrot
This parrot has read your mind and, while it is refraining from judgement, does not understand why your plan requires that the Jello be lemon flavoured.
Worry not, this parrot will not share what it has learned.
