Your best animal shots!

Pretty new poster here... Any critique is always appreciated. I like the first...kinda a "who you lookin' at" thing. He was actually pretty aggressive. The tortoise, not so much. The Coyote was at Yellowstone trying to sneak in for a bite of a wolf's elk kill. No shots of what ensued but entertaining for sure.

There is something about cats. Big or small. And I was a Dog only person for most of my life - till we inherited Bambi...

Love the shot, reminds me of my dog

Hi all-

First post- I've been reading the forums for a few weeks, just registered to post this, when I saw this thread. I recently acquired my 2nd DSLR setup (after losing my XTi and lenses to a whitewater kayaking accident), and consider myself an enthusiastic amateur. So, introductions and IQ apologies aside... technically, this is not great. Nighttime, on-camera flash, very casual setting, haven't done anything in post (yet, but I want to play with it). But the moment was priceless....

This is Stella, the sweetest border collie I've ever met, playing with a mouse (who escaped the encounter completely unharmed)

EXIF: 7D, EF 28-70 f/3.5-4.5 II (date code placing it from March, 1989), 1/30 sec, f/4.5, @64mm, ISO 800
