I dunno. You did a GREAT job capturing this little guy with his baby teeth, but the awesome "snookums" factor that most baby animals have is missing from this guy.(To me, anyway. I bet his mom loves him.)

I so much appreciate your morning captures all of these years of this wonderful place we all share. You brighten our days, Ron Clark. Thank you from our hearts.

I don't know if they are all that color but, that one is clearly camouflaged for it's environment. We all regularly are close to animals, insects etc but don't see them.

The orioles, all over the place, change color to match what they are standing on.

Be careful. At that size, the mama alligator is likely to be very close by!
