W/W - The One-footed Peacock

Like arrows, these curious footprints on the beach pointed us to this fella...
A one footed peacock
Apparently, he lost his left foot in a battle for alpha male status.
Despite his disability, he was honking loudly and amorously to the peahens around him, his pomposity no less than before, when his hobble was a strut. And judging by the peafowls' response to him, he still rules.
The only disability in life is a bad attitude - SCOTT HAMILTON

  6. That was the first animal Mica paid attention to at the zoo. When he went on a field trip to a farm for preschool, he argued with the farmer about how peacocks do belong on farms. He was 3, and I wasn't there. I got him a peacock puppet. It's so cool! Sadly he lost interest in the pretty bird.
