        I captured this image of these Mountain Bongos at the Dubbo Western Plains Zoo in the mid west of NSW, Australia. An amazing zoo to visit if you are in NSW, Australia. I chose to post this image due to its endangered species. The Mountain Bongo (Tragelaphus eurycerus isaaci) is a critically endangered, large forest antelope native only to Kenya's highland forests. With fewer than 100 individuals estimated in the wild, they are among Africa's rarest mammals, characterized by a vibrant reddish-brown coat with white stripes, large ears, and spiral horns.

                                                            "The Terrapin", by Wendell Berry

                                                            The terrapin and his house are one.
                                                            Though he may go, he’s never gone.

                                                            He’s housed within, from nose to toe:
                                                            A door, a floor, and no window.

                                                            There’s little room; the light is dim;
                                                            His furniture is only him.

                                                            He doesn’t speak what he thinks about;
                                                            Where no guest comes, a thought’s a shout.

                                                            He pokes along; he’s in no haste:
                                                            He has no map and no suitcase;

                                                            He has no worries and no woes,
                                                            For where he is is where he goes.

                                                            Ponder this wonder under his dome
                                                            Who, wandering, is always home.
