Comment by Steph S. on January 28, 2013 at 6:40am: Love the coconut picture Tony! And appreciate the information.
Yes Joan that is a real picture of a black Arabian horse.

Across the south pacific islands. Only humans and other coconut crabs are a threatto them. Considered a delicacy and an aphrodisiac, endangered on any island where humans also live.

Comment by Joan Denoo on January 27, 2013 at 9:24pm: Tony, those monkeys send shivers up my back.

The zebras present a stunning scene of contrasts in color and textures.

Steph, is that an actual photo of an Arabian? It is a gorgeous animal.
