Okay, not a photo, but this video of a baby elephant born on July 7th playing in a kiddie pool is adorable! (Her name is Belle) ... sorry about the ad.

As if none of us have ever come back with a cool, quasi-epic story instead of being victim to tragic rockfall, a fatal stumble, a heart attack, an embolism, a lightning strike, a bear attack, collapsing cornice, some psycho with an axe, a falling tree, carbon monoxide, even falling asleep at the wheel getting to a mountain. If you can't accept the fact that sometimes "s**t happens", then you live with the illusion that your epic genius and profound wilderness intelligence has put you in total and complete control of yourself, your partners, and the mountain. How mystified you'll be when "s**t happens" to you! - FM

Well if we're going reptilian I'll play my two...

EDIT: It just dawned on me that my play should have been one reptilian and one amphibian...
