Last year in the Canaries palm disease struck quite a lot of mature trees.
This year in Corralejo they were diging up the roots along the 'promenade'.
Passing in the car some took on the look af creatures, so here are a few just for fun.

Lion.
Giraffe.
Stork.

I admire your creativity, good eye and composition to show this roots of the trees and give them shape of animals.
Well done NT...

Thanks for looking.
If I had waited for better light they would be even better, but those beautiful steak dinners called very loudly.
Our receptionist said they were very expensive to replace as they have to use a different variety, which is resistant to disease. These were only there for one day and then they were gone.

Thought it was like a beaver but it looks like a mouse, (I googled for it). I then tried beaver but got the wrong kind.
Maybe a seal would fit better. When I first saw them It was just getting dusk, and the light plays funny tricks.

A funny and whimsical idea -- very nice. I also have no idea what a Coypu is, but I'd say that it could pass for a three-quarters rear view of a hippo.

OK! Hippo it is, with a rabbits tail.
It is very sad that they died, as they produce a lovely shade and colour when healthy.
