Each weekday morning, we pick a recent image from the Torontoist Flickr Pool and feature it here on the site. It’s our way to give the many excellent photographers in our pool the attention they deserve!

Torontoist is wondering if this yak is the most popular animal at the zoo.
Originally looking to catch just an extended tongue, gardinergirl found a deliberate attempt at clearing some airways. Cropped to frame the pink mass with mounds of brown strands, there is no doubt as to the yak’s intentions. More animal antics can be found at the High Park Zoo, where this photo was taken, year round from 7 a.m. to dusk.
