Photograph by Michael McEvoy, DEEP Indonesia/Barcroft/Fame PicturesA close-up of a blue-eyed moray eel in Indonesia captured an honorable mention in the "Indonesia Residents" category of the fourth annual Deep Indonesia International Underwater Photo Competition, whose winning photos were released to the press earlier this month.
Known to grow as long as about 5 feet (1.5 meters), moray species generally lack pectoral fins, unlike most other eel species.

In the early 1940s, a woman in Washington, DC, adopted a squirrel after she found the critter orphaned in a tree. The squirrel, dubbed Tommy Tucker by the family -- of which he soon became a part -- accompanied the lady of the house on shopping trips, visits to the local children's hospital, and the like. She also, it turned out, enjoyed dressing him up in specially made outfits.

I just found an excellent photo collection at The Catalyst, Famous people and their cats, which shows many people you would never have thought of as cat lovers, such as Frank Zappa, Truman Capote, Grace Kelly and John Travolta.
One of my favorites here is:
Jay Leno and his cat
But wait, there's more at Famous people and their cats, part two! Sean Connery, and David Bowie are also cat lovers. So were John Lennon and Freddie Mercury.
Freddie Mercury and Bohemian Rhapsody
Great work, Jenny. Hope you can find more of these.

Zhou Zhenglong, a 54-year-old farmer from a mountainous county in northern Shaanxi province, was awarded a 20,000 yuan bonus last year, after he produced pictures which authorities said were evidence of a South China tiger.
The pictures, which showed a tiger crouching in a forest setting, sparked an Internet furor led by experts who identified the photos as faked, and local media who accused officials of endorsing them as a means of promoting tourism in a poor region.
After months of dithering, authorities finally admitted the pictures were fake and sacked a swag of officials for their part in the scandal.
China has been rocked by a number of scandals involving official endorsement of faked photos.
In February, the chief editor of a Chinese newspaper quit after one of its photographers faked a prize-winning photo of endangered Tibetan antelopes appearing unfazed by a passing train on the Qinghai-Tibet railway.

OK, Ok - here's the one that's NOT shown:
If this cat is anything like my two cats, the mouse got away, totally unharmed, and the cat will now need a rest of several hours and a hearty meal, to be followed by another nap.
