I don't see a problem, Peter. You'll be as safe as houses if you label your cards Giant mollusc consumes careless fish off the coast of Hawaii. Done and dusted. Mind you, it has previously been implied on this forum that my critical skills where art is concerned are questionable at best, so I must admit, to keep the record straight, that what I think is a fish might actually be a parrot. :D

I've found this site...
I'll try and use photos that are free for use..
though the newspapers sure do show some amazing animal photos..

Also I'll try and get my camera out at a zoo..
