A rare Ayam Cemani Chicken of Indonesia, everything about it is black: plumage, beak, tongue, legs, toe nails, even its meat, bones, and organs! The only thing that is black is its blood – though it comes in a very dark shade.

Ooops. Sorry, I wasn’t aware. I’ll try to be more even-handed. 🙂
Seeing this just adds another “dimension” of life to be taken-into-account…
Wonderful, made me laugh 🙂
Truly amazing images. Some left me in awe and some just plain cracked me up! Thanks!
There is a typographical error in the caption of the black chicken, I’m sure it should say that its blood is NOT black, even though it is a dark shade.
Great job I m impresss
Wonderful pictures of animals. I would be hard pressed to chose a favorite. Awesome, beautiful and funny. Thank you for sharing such magnificent pictures.
