Animals – Spiders +++
Among approximately 80 pictures in Animals – Spiders are these charmers:

Check out the frantic and dark Coffin Joe from our DVD Collection:

Animals – Bats +++
From far away a colony, or cloud of bats is a blur of fluttering black specks. A bat’s face up close is a scrunched up wrinkly big-nostriled wonderfully weird thing. A real bat is gone in a blink but in the picture collection there are 39 bat pictures (under Animals – Bats) that you can look at as long as you want; and they probably will not fly away.
Animals – Assorted
Spread throughout three folders are the subcategories Animals – Assorted (A-G), (H-N), and (O-Z). These folders are home to about 70 images of animals that do not fall into any of the Picture Collection’s current animal subcategories (there are over 60 subcategories of Animals with thousand of pictures, from Apes and Monkeys to Zebras). Maybe if some of these adorable little creatures find a few more like themselves, they too will have the distinction of having their own folder. I would love to see a folder full of proud platypuses.

Making a rare appearance above ground, a common European mole prepares to burrow its way back into the security of a subsurface tunnel, using paddle-like appendages to scrape soil and push it rearward or up.
