There are no houses behind mine; back yard opens onto a huge pasture that's leased out to a family that keeps horses on it--A gelding and a bunch of mares. One of the mares has been pregnant for a while now. Anyway, she was still pregnant on Thursday, then I was away for work all day Friday, walk outside this morning and:

On the back way in from town, there's a ranch with a good number of beeves on it. One day I'm going by with my wife & kid and we spot a fresh calf along the fenceline, and the mother standing nearby, grazing.

"Hey, new cow!"; dropped the windows & slowed down to a crawl.
"Wow, really new cow!"

Then we got close and saw the mama cow was grazing on placenta; but we heard it first, slopping & crunching & snarfling down the afterbirth. Then it looked up at us, placidly dribbling bloody cud & slime.

Circle of life lol.

I love liminal images like this. Weirdly comforting.

Here’s my first contribution to the thread

Good beef on Kangaroo Island, apparently.

But see also Rottnest Island, which is home to these little guys. They're called quokkas, and are only found here, off the coast of Western Australia.

I’d love to see a quokka (or two) one day. Who gave these silly things permission to be so cute?

I’m fascinated with Australian native wildlife in general. Even bin chickens and magpies. I can’t wait to visit.

Slightly related to what we’re discussing, here’s some image tax:
