World Animal Day 2009

October 4th was World Animal Day. If you missed it, you can celebrate it today. And tomorrow. And the next day....


Start out by enjoying this wonderful gallery from The Boston Globe's The Big Picture.

The Big Zoo

Scenes From The Zoo by The Big Picture is a beautiful series of photographs from zoos around the world. Hippo likes the close-up of hippopotamus skin (although his is a little fuzzier than this sample). There's also a photo of his great uncle Happy having a talk with Indiana Jones.
