ocicat

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v694/mypixforum/ocicat.jpg

If you are looking for a feline that resembles an exotic spotted jungle cat but has the sweet personality of a domestic, the ocicat may be right for you. Unlike breeds like the Bengal, only domestic cats were used in the breed's foundation. Created by crosses between Siamese, Abyssinian and American shorthairs, this spotted feline may look like a fierce little leopard, but under the spots the ocicat is pure pussycat. The ocicat was developed in 1964 by accident, when Siamese breeder Virginia Daly, of Michigan, crossed a seal point Siamese female with a ruddy Abyssinian male in the hopes of developing an Abyssinian-pointed Siamese. :cat:

European Sea Eagle chicks (offical name: Haliaeetus albicilla) - aka The Flying Door. (http://www.staatsbosbeheer.nl/actueel/zeearend/archief/default.asp?id={34B8BC71-CDF6-4CB3-BA14-065E7F6CAC50}) I kid you not, folks!

Last year, Mum and Dad Sea Eagle had one kiddie on a nest in the Dutch Nature Reservation Park "Oostvaarders Plassen"

This year, the Nature Reservationist tried to do ALL to get the Lovely Sea Eagle Couple back there, on the same spot. Guess what they did? Teh Birdies decided they did not appreciated all of the attention too much, so they built a new nest (2 meters in both height and width!) some distance away - and brought up TWO LOVELY chicks this year! :worship:

As of this year, the Sea Eagle is back to being an official Breeding Bird in the Netherlands again! :hearts:
