COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Hi, everyone!!!!!!
A happy day and Tidgy is dancing around as her photo is now included in the calendar competition.
What a lovely selection of torts and turtles we have this year!!!
Glorious!
Good luck to all of those involved and apologies to those I don't vote for, but I must keep honest and vote for my favourite pictures without bias to my friends and their tortoises.
(Though I will certainly vote for Tidgy, I'm afraid. )
thanks very much to all those lovely people who gave me encouragement and support yesterday when Tidgy and I were so distressed.
Nice friends!

I don't understand the sea turtle photo.
Are these not all tortoises that we own?
can you own a sea turtle?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Yes, I thought the same.
Lovely animal, but is it someones pet ?
Or a rather nice wildlife photograph ?
Still, not enough turtles in the comp, in my opinion.

Talking of wildlife photography, the winner of The Wildlife Photograph of The Year 2015 has been published.
It's a bit gruesome, the result of an encounter between a red fox and an Arctic fox.
But here it is........

Note the symmetry in the position of the heads, tails and even facial expressions.
Sad, horrible, extraordinary and beautiful all at the same time.

I saw a documentary the other day on orca whales that had those 2 foxes in it. The base of the show was that because the Arctic is warming and the thick layers of ice are disappearing, predators like orcas and red foxed are moving in towards the Arctic. The red fox is much more aggressive than the Arctic fox and they're worried they will be beaten out. They're also worried about the effect the orcas are having on the narwhal population

Nothing except we're celebrating 1,000 pages and 20,000 posts in less than 3 months.
I don't think many people can keep up.
Possibly it's only me that reads every message carefully.
And thanks for being a Cold Dark Roomer, Ken.

I catch up on what i missed over night on way to work, and what i missed during the day on way home

Yes! There is hope for the food source for those who reside in Canada though. They have salmon that run and the bears are learning to hunt them.
