They're pretty incredible. It's hard to choose a favorite but I really like #4, the one with the frog jamming the snake into his mouth and the monkey in #6. Which is your favorite?

All my years in the US, I've seen only grey & red squirrels. When I first went in Canada in 1989, in VAncouver, I saw BLACK squirrels! It was so unusual to me, this moment of discover is so unforgetable. Attached thumbnail(s) -------------------- All the earth is my home and each nation a different room in the same house.
