Friday Ark

Cats, Dogs, Spiders and ? every Friday.

I'll post links to sites that have Friday (plus or minus a few days) photos of their chosen animals as I see them (no photoshops and no humans).

Leave a comment or trackback to this post or email me and I'll add yours to the list. Check back regularly for updates throughout the day on Fridays and somewhat less frequently over the weekend.

Dog folks: remember to submit your links to the Carnival of the Dogs hosted by Mickey's Musings.

Cat folks: remember to submit your links to the Carnival of the Cats which goes up every Sunday and will be hosted this week by maximum stacy.

And, check out Laurence's fine graphical analysis of Friday Ark boardings.

Archive editions of the Friday Ark.

Update: While Laurence worries about our dog owning friends overtaking the felines there is a brewing uprising:

Liberate the Friday Ark from the shackles of mammalocentric oppression!
Hey, send in the links!

    Oops, had a brain-fart when I trackbacked. Forgot about the no humans requirement.

    Uh-oh -- the link is to my trackback page, not the article.

    Mira,

    Humans are ok as long as they are in a supporting role, e.g., a body under a sleeping pet, a groomer, etc.

    What I will avoid are posts that picture only a human.

    Didn't Make It Creek Running North: middle Devonian brachiopod

    Huh? of course I didn't make it; it evolved naturally from ancestral eukaryotes, just like all the rest of us metazoans.

    Thanks for the link. I'm glad Kevin Drum started up cat blogging again. I wrote to him and begged him to post pix of Inkblot and Jasmine.

    Only a fraction of all the species that ever existed on Earth are still alive today - most have gone extinct over billions of years. Why are extinct species discriminated against?

    Posted by coturnix at March 4, 2005 9:45 PM

    Do potatoes count, or is there discrimination against everything that is not an animal:

    Yep, for this Ark I'm pretty much discriminating against everything that is not an animal...

    And, would love to have more boarders from the extinct species...

    Hey I've never blogged before but I'm doing a Bio lab right now and I'm bored.

    It's Annelids.

    Boring.
