[Image ID: a photo of a fluffy snow leopard cub, old enough that it’s not helpless but young enough that it’s still reliant on its mother. It’s laying on its back in a pile of rocks, it’s tail laying next to it and its hind legs flopped over its belly. It’s front legs are stretched up over its head in a comic manner. Despite the ridiculous, kind of uncomfortable-looking position its eyes are closed and it is clearly snoozing. /End ID]

Rob Garren posted a beautiful cockerel from his purple poultry project the other day, though i think this bird is from his general iridescent breeding pen. The bird is beautiful and looks like an oil slick. There isnt a "gene" that causes this, this is Rob selecting for more and more iridescence over time.

He also got some up close pictures of the feathers and they are breathtaking

You can follow Rob's project at the purple poultry facebook group but none of these birds (or eggs) are for sale yet so do not bother him.
