Pictures of pikas.

Just in general, CalPhotos is a splendid site (although their database organization leaves a bit to be desired). I'd never even heard of pallid bats before, and now I've seen pictures (!). I also particularly recommend the San Joaquin kit foxes.

Banded mongooses! *dies* And a platypus! *dies again*

Sorry. Easily excited. Don't mind me.

And, for jonsinger:

Llamas.

Eee! Pikas! *big silly grin*

Yep, that's my daemon, right there.

I was hoping they'd have a good mole photo I could use.

While they do have one (http://elib.cs.berkeley.edu/cgi/img_query?special=browse&where-lifeform=Mammal&rel-namesoup=like&where-namesoup=Grant's+Desert+Golden+Mole), and while I really like it, it's not the sort of thing that makes a good LJ icon. V. sad.

Ooh, I hadn't. And the uksafari picture, which is to die for, is among their free wallpapers, so I think I can use it--legally, ethically, and morally. V. exciting.

Thank you!

Nope. Bummer. Personal use only, excluding websites, which I figure LJ counts as.

But the mole has replaced Frodo as my desktop, so I figure I've come out ahead anyway. :)

Mongoosen?
