Beautiful find! They stick their tails up in the air like that to "cool down" ;)

Hey Shanna, just wondering if you might like to go nature spotting one day. I don't have any other friends that are into the great outdoors as much as I am. I used to live up the sunny coast way and would love an excuse to get back up that way. Hope all is well in your part of the universe :)
