This place is famous Canada wide for Snakes that congregate here by the hundreds at certain time of the year. The expression of the little guy's face suggested that he thought that this time he was the star, not the Snakes.

What a wonderful pose you captured here, Karl. Its not only the face, but the way its holding those little forepaws, absolutely priceless! Love it and thanks for the laugh.

Maybe its surrounded by snakes and is shouting ''Get me out of here!''

Big smile! What a face! I much prefer him to any snakes-they don't make such amusing faces!

I didn't know that you photographed mammals, Karl, as I just looked at this category out of curiosity, but a fine image, just like your bird photographs.

A great moment you've caught here,Karl. It instantly reminded me of the BBC talking animals video from years ago.The first and last segment of the montage.
