Lagopus muta (rock ptarmigan)


"The name Lagopus means "foot of a rabbit" refering to the ptarmigan's feathered feet, which resemble the furry feet of a rabbit."













What does it all mean? I don't know. But can't we all just get along?












Oh shit!!!

You have no idea what you have just potentially unleashed!

Your mother was raped by Bunnies, wasn't she.

No, bunnies kill ptarmigans. Those filthy beasts.

An attempt to look for skeletons in the closet that I am some self-hater. Sorry, I am no self-hater.

I...uh...just thought it was kind of interesting when I stumbled across it, it being the unexpected confluence of taxonomic classification....



But obviously I was completely wrong, 100% wrong, my word yes, how wrong I was, you just don't get wronger than I was...so, has anyone seen Mr. SB about?, just asking....*

Lagopus, lagomorph . . . what's the difference?

The rabbit is not the most dangerous killer of the ptarmigan -- everything you have read to date has all been a sham, a ruse, a deflection.  

The true enemy of the ptarmigan and the rabbit is the stoat:  






Cute? yes.  Lethal?  absolutely.

The E-V-I-L stoat lurks among us........be afraid my friends........ be very afraid.

That looks like the Pine Martins we have around here. Suspiciously we have no rabbits OR ptarmigan's  Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!  :fuelfire:

Stoats should be exterminated along side with rabbits, coyotes, foxes, and gyrfalcons.  :fuelfire:

It seems that if one member of the avian family is siding with the bunnies, then maybe the ptarmigans did something to piss them off.

Gyrfalcons eat ptarmigans and they too are among to be slated for extermination alongside with rabbits and stoats.
