This is one of the Kirk's dik-dik at Chester Zoo. Don't always get such good views, and I just thought the little branch hanging from its mouth is cute. It was a tough call between that one and this, [ame="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrishollandphotography/6065586591/in/photostream"]Grevys zebra | Flickr - Photo Sharing!@@AMEPARAM@@http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6075/6065586591_d7a9e1d5bb_m.jpg@@AMEPARAM@@6065586591@@AMEPARAM@@d7a9e1d5bb[/ame]

As it just so happens, one of my favorite ungulate shots I took within the last two weeks on my Texas trip. Male blackbuck at Fossil Rim Wildlife Center.

I think this is one of the best ungulate photo I have, it was taken at Taronga Zoo in 2005, and shows a mother Barbary Sheep and her offspring sheltering from the sun in the shade of a fallen tree.

This is one of my best and favorite photos that I've taken.

The Flickr attachments are showing up as black boxes on my screen and I have to go to the actual Flickr site to see them. The thumbnail attachments show up fine (as long as I am logged in). May I suggest that we do away with the links to other sites like Flickr and require all contestants to post their photo as a direct attachment?

Considering we are part way into October now, is this competition going to be judged soon?

@Javan Rhino (or anyone else interested): I won't be on much tonight, so feel free to start a poll. And I apoligize, as I completly forgot about this, sorry!

No worries
