Edit: Actually BRVRR, we posted at the sane time! "More animals please."

.

This is an old picture that I have posted before. I was trying out my new 10mm focal length lens. I must have really been concentrating on the photography because I did not even notice the vampiric dire wolf that wandered into the scene and began attacking the pilot of the locomotive.
