Not as cute a photo as the standing one I uploaded the other day, but at least you get to see the whole (more or less) animal this time. These Long-tailed Weasels move incredibly fast and it's a miracle to get a photo : ) He didn't move quite fast enough, though, to prevent a predator catching him by the tail at some time and pulling off the end half (?) of his lovely long tail with the black tip. You can see a straggly bit of white fur hanging from the tail stump. I hope it wasn't one of "my" owls that tried to have him for dinner! They all share the same little area.

One of the Mountain Goats housed at the Calgary Zoo, in a carefully designed enclosure that is a replica of a mountain scene. I have seen several in the wild, but only from a great distance.
