Nothing like the bright lights of downtown

Folks head to a big-city downtown for many reasons - shopping, banking, sight-seeing. Others gravitate towards attractions, such as Zoo Atlanta, where we happened upon this fellow, taking a mid-afternoon mud bath.

    Is he a warthog? Great muddy textures and colors.

    Oops, he looks like he commands quite a bit of respect. I've heard recently that we have wild boar in the woods not far from where we live. Scary, especially when you walk the dogs.....

    I guess you could have used the theme 'comfort' too. I love all that warm mud brown. What an amazing animal, so well exposed

    Gives a whole new meaning to "happy as a 'pig' in mud". Great capture!
