Zoo living zebra As classic prey animals, zebras must constantly scan their surroundings for danger. They can rotate their ears independently of one another and almost in a full circle without moving their heads or pausing while grazing. #zoolivinganimal #zebra #rotatingears

The obligatory late-summer picture with the bales of straw lying in the grain field. The bales are so massive and heavy that they don't roll around on their own. By the way, you can't push them either — of course, I had to try it — they're much too heavy for me... #strawbales #latesummer

Four spotted chaser - a large dragonfly. The focus is on the wings, which reflect the sunlight. The dragonfly really helped by positioning itself so that all four wings are in focus along their entire length. I've been waiting a long time for this... #dragonfly #4spottedchasser #infocus
