This tongue-in-cheek collection is a followup to earlier blog-posts "Talking Heads, avian", and "Talking Heads, mammalian". All the photos were taken by G.C., using his i-phone camera. Most of the sites were in "the wild"; a minority of the photos were taken at zoos and aquariums. None of the subjects were reimbursed for participation. Th present group of participants includes well-known personalities from the communities of reptiles, amphibians and fish.

CURRENT PARTICIPANTS: alligator (juvenile), American toad, bearded dragon, broad-headed skink, burrfish, Carolina green anole, copperhead snake, five-lined skink, French angelfish.

* learn more HERE about senryu, a term that designates a lesser-known Japanese short poem that shares the physical characteristics of haiku (nominally 17 'on' / syllables in three non-rhyming lines), but deals in a satiric or humorous way with human foibles rather than with Nature.
