Good for animals, of course – particularly some shy mammals. Therefore, apologies in advance for the largish number of mammal photos in this post. Being a mammal myself, I am understandably much less fond of this animal class than I am of birds. A juvenile nearby. Blue Sheep. At least they are cute. Tibetan Fox.

There aren’t many mammal ticks on this trip, but the ones you get are pretty remarkable. Here we find two of the most interesting members of the family, the Crested Moa , unique of course for the shaggy crest on its head, and the mountain-goat-like Upland Moa. Laughing Owl.

Random thought: What if I had died a month ago and never heard anything from The Burning Hell, nor the new Mountain Goats song “Training Montage” … Such sad and depressing thinking. Many nocturnal mammals and birds such as the Kiwi would likely wholeheartedly agree. Back to real birds.
