I too think these guys are a bit strange. This looks like a big male to me. I really like the thorn bush in teh frame. Gives a sense of place. Very nice.

Nice capture! He really cooperated with his position in the frame, his sleek coat and the contrasting texture of the thorny bush. No nits here.

The thorn bush is a huge component to the success of this image, IMO, Ken. Good one.
