#1 - Pool Frog (Pelophylax lessonae)

How's that for camouflage!

#2 & 3 - Meuse-Rhine-Issel cows

This species of cows are named after the place where they were bred, where the river Maas (Meuse), Rijn (Rhine) and Ijssel (Issel) meet here in the Netherlands.

Both images were shot by my father with one of my cameras

Look at the cow's face... amazing... no flies around the eyes or nostrils

Now you mention it

Hmm, I think that no cow may be an exception to the rule, Dr. Harout. : )

I do see a small black fly on the edge of the tear stream....A closer look reveals.

Thanks for sharing these, Mark. I almost missed the frog. Indeed nicely camouflaged.

Frogs you just gotta love em, they're kinda dopey but very likable just the same, good pic, the cow head studies are original, I don't think I've seen many portrait head shots of cows before, good ones too.

Mark,
The third one looks like it is delivering a "mooing" speech. I agree with others about the portrait of a cow.
I wondered what the first one was till I read Yildiz post. Talk about camouflage.

Please bear with me.....

Hahaha

That's a great description Greg!

@sury: that bear shot is great! It reminds me of... well... me when I fall asleep sitting on the couch after a long days work

Was it actually sleeping or just looking down?

Mark,
Thank you. It was not sleeping. It was just my timing...

A rabbit (I am told it is called Harris rabbit). I wouldn't know one species from the other.

Greg,
May be it is a Harris Squirrel. Mea culpa. That is what happens when you post stuff at 1.30am.

Whatever it is, Sury, it's lovely. : )

Does look more like a squirrel with those ears and profile.
