All:

At the Kamloops Wildlife Park, the other day, along with Qaanik, was 
Xeximene (pronounced haw-keh-mah-na) and is, I am told, Chinese for "Owl".

Xeximene picked a fight with a car ... and lost.  Thus, he has only 
one eye and would be unable to survive in the wild.  So, he is now a 
Zoo owl and doing just fine, thank you.

Still, his one eye-edness, gives him a wee bit of an unusual look, 
but he's absolutely  fascinating, in his own way.

He can be seen by going to: http://www3.telus.net/~telyt/ and then 
clicking on "featured photo", on the left side of your screen.

Comments, good or bad, always appreciated.

Thanks for looking.

Cheers!
