“Cinereous” means “color of ash” because “grey vulture” sounds stupid.
As I was reading about grey, I stumbled upon the claim that you can define grey as all solutions of the inequality: 0 ≤ (R = G = B) ≤ 255
There are rather more than 50 options.
Tasmanian devils are unpopular at parties – they always hold onto the joint.
The echidna is a monotreme like the platypus. They can be found in some zoos but, with them being very nocturnal, it can be very hard to get good photos of them. I lucked out that on this one day, there were two of them just wandering around as if they didn’t know it was daytime.
Now I just need to photograph three more species of echidna and a platypus and I’ll have collected the whole set.
The wombat enclosure at the LA Zoo is kept so dark that it is almost impossible to see anything. For those who follow such things, this show was a 1/6 of a second exposure at f/3.3 and ISO 12,800. I am optimistic that my newer experiments with low light photography will allow me to do better the next time I visit.
