A pregnant roe deer. At least I assume she is pregnant. I’ve seen her around here ever since last winter and she is now quite “full figured”. Hopefully I get to see her kids one day, but I’ll make sure to only watch them from a distance.

The Romero brothers took my favorite pig because I couldn’t pay them off my debt. They were about to grill and eat the poor animal. But thanks to the Virgin of San Juan they decided to drink first. They got so drank and didn’t notice two my grandsons taking the pig. They decided they had eaten the pig. I thank the Virgin of San Juan because my piggy came back home.

Muskoxen,
Bering Land Bridge National Park, Alaska

With thick, long fur that trails like a skirt, muskoxen make motherhood look easy. Called Oomingmak
in the Inupiaq Eskimo language, meaning “hairy one” or “bearded one,”
muskoxen live in complex social circles with up to 75 in a herd, which
can be seen frolicking through the Alaskan tundra.

A female will give
birth to a single calf in April or May,
weighing about 20-30 pounds. The calf is able to stand and move around
hours after birth, and eats small, tender plants that are abundant and
nutritious. When danger approaches, muskoxen stick together, either
forming a line or a circle against predators. Calves will stay near their mothers or hide in the center of the circle for protection.

I’m a big fan of selfies. The other day, I went to the zoo and thought it’d be cool to make a selfie with a lion and upload it on Facebook without realizing how dangerous it could be to have a lion so close. I bring this retablo to Saint Anthony the Great because thank to my phone’s flash the giant cat got scared and didn’t do anything to me. I promise to be more responsible while making photos.
