Thanks all.


I guess seeing the eyes isn't always the thing for me. Yes, we do associate animals with ourselves and like to see the eyes since they show emotion, but sometimes, at least for me, I like to go with something else.

I'll post one of my favorites soon, which is a close up of an elephants mouth. No eyes, just the mouth and it says nothing but "elephant".

The grizzly to me doesn't show much in their eyes. They are so small compared to the massive head and snout. To me that's what a grizzly is, massive. That's what I like to show.

Also, you can see the sloths eye if you look closely.:D

I hoped I explained my methods of madness well enough.:wxwax

Here's a sloth with eyes.
