Elephant butt

Elephant butt

We are the animal paparazzi.  We have memory cards filled with posteriors, great and small, from the mammoth elephant to the tiny dikdik, as the animals fled our snapping cameras.  Most people would delete these shots but not us.  The butt shot: totally worth capturing.

Love. It.

How fun! I love the butt shots! I have a lot of them too ... way more than I have of front shots!

Us too! It's so hard to get those darn animals to turn around so we figured that we might as well do a post on those big butts. :)

This is hysterical! Funny, I also got SO MANY butt shots while I was in Africa. (And, um, one of a frisky male buffalo sticking it in his woman that I probably shouldn't post on the Internet.) Also, coincidence, as I just posted a monkey crotch shot on my blog today, heh!

I think everyone gets tons of butt shots because the animals are always walking away! I loved your monkey pictures at your site today - the one of the monkey grabbing the sandwich is hilarious.

Aww, these pics are great! Nothing wrong with a butt shot or two. ;) That zebra's derriere is the best, in my opinion. Okay, the elephants are cute, too.

Christy - We have so many pictures of zebra butts, it's almost crazy! I love those funky stripes that go all the way around and the way the tail is striped, too. Love them!

This made me laugh, and today, I really needed a laugh. Thanks so much! My first thought? Pervert! =)

I know! I was really worried about naming this post because I was certain that we were going to get weird people coming to our site - I remember that Kristin said that she gets a ton of hits from "animal porn." Ah well . . . weirdos . . . what can you do about them?

Thanks for a Saturday evening laugh...loved it.

Probably anybody who was on safari have so many butts in their collections :D

I think that's true Vi!
