Good Friends - pics
This was too cute not to post.


In this photo provided by Busch Gardens, Bea, a three-year-old giraffe, and Wilma, an ostrich, share a moment Aug. 1, 2009 at Busch Gardens in Tampa Bay, Florida's 65-acre Serengeti Plain. Just as they do on Africa's plains, the animals usually hang out with their own species. But recently, zoo keepers at Busch Gardens noticed the unlikely pair that just can't seem to get enough of one another.

6. For the record, I don't think Ostriches have the ability to look "pleased".
They always look freaked out about something. :)

11. This is a slippery slope
If we let this type of cross species attractions continue, sooner or later someone is going to be demanding that they be labeled a couple. Then the talk to cross species marriage. Then the uppity gays will want it too. Very slippery slope indeed. :sarcasm:
