Giant Hands

Kj said...: To nitpick a bit; the tag says reindeer, but the colour and spots suggests the calf is a fallow deer.; 4 August 2013 at 19:01
Mark Wadsworth said...: Kj, maybe, but given the size of a baby fallow deer, how big are those hands?; 4 August 2013 at 19:26
Kj said...: Have no idea. Such pictures should include matchbox/fag-packet for size calibration.; 4 August 2013 at 20:01
Mark Wadsworth said...: Kj, ah yes, but you can easily make a giant matchbox etc. That doesn't help.; 4 August 2013 at 21:25

Mark Wadsworth said...: JM, assuming they are not giant hands, it must be a very small deer, so muntjac sprang to mind.; 5 August 2013 at 07:35
