Baby photos

An aquaintance from the coast turned up in town with these two. She couldn't leave them with carers.




She named them Lady and The Tramp. They are orphaned grey-headed flying foxes

Great pictures. What would happen if they didn't have those unique muzzles over their snouts?

Heh. I took those for rubber nipples, actually. As in baby bottle nipples. I could be wrong, though.

Yup. Binkies, dummies, pacifiers, etc. :)

Holy memory-loss, Batman! I- uh... I left it with Catwoman. Sorry.

And it sounds like you're right, judging from dewhitton's answer. FYI, I've noticed your comments around at various LJ's for several months, now. I'm going to add you to my friends list so I can be reminded to read your writings. If you like, add me to yours.

I'd be honoured. I've noticed your comments also, but it's seemed like you're part of a rather close-knit group, and some of those high-school lessons die hard for me. I haven't wanted to intrude. :)

My group is ever-growing, ever-shifting. A few people we already share in common like kenhighcountry, frawst and dewhitton have been on my list for almost all of the ten months I've been here. Pleased to be accepted by you. I lived in NC for several years. In what part of the state is Clayton? I just remembered that I knew a woman in grad school in Greensboro whose first name was Clayton, an old family name, I think.

Re:

Clayton is about a half-hour east of Raleigh. :) And, of course, I applaud your taste. Good men all three, though Den's the only one I've had the pleasure of knowing for longer than the life of my LJ. :)

They are, as aiobheil guessed, rubber nipples. It's the flying fox version of a blue blanket. A blank (ie un-peirced) nipple is pushed through the lid of an eyedropper and folded over so the pups don't swallow the nipple. They're happy as long as they can suck on something.
