Very pretty,

I've heard human females also change coloration during the mating season, lip-stick, eye shadow and all.

Re: Very pretty,

A first sighting for us Marc...just assumed the coloration was a defensive mechanism...until I looked it up. Supposedly can run long distances on their large hind legs..reminiscent of dinosaurs. Cheers.
