I'm new to this group
I cut "found haikus" from books
Here's one about love
My found haiku reads:
a shared enterprise
more than they can imagine
special thanks are due

Ross seal
This sweet little guy was a l-o-n-g way from his usual home, deep in the pack ice of Antarctica. Most of our naturalists had never seen a Ross seal (an article I found on the net claims that until the 1970s fewer than 100 people had ever seen one!). Apparently his ice floe went for a sail and he came along.

They don't really eat crabs, just krill, tiny shrimp-like critters. But early sailors and explorers noted the red stains on their fur and thought crab. And apparently once a species is named, even erroneously, that's it forever.

OK, friends, I've been saving the best for last. There is nothing on earth so adorable as a penguin, except when they're performing projectile excretion. We had the pleasure of seeing many, many, many penguins in Antarctica, up very close and personal.

The researchers have just used a crossbow to place a satellite transmitter tag on the dorsal fin of one of the whales; with luck it will stay attached for several weeks and allow them to track the group's travels.
