Image made me look and think! I thought it was a young one too, she looks as if life is not easy, judging by her condition and I suppose it wouldn't be with so many young to care for.

Great detail, especially getting a hint of the pink tongue. As Rob said 'great behavioural image'. Thanks for sharing.
