A Trip to the Ecodrome - part 2

After all the scary animals we encountered some non scary animals: Chickens

Did I just say chickens aren't scary? Maybe I should rethink that comment.

Next we visited an expo about Darwin and there I saw these insect beasties.

Hmmmmm..... no comment.

These scary heads were set up like this to compare the skulls from Java men, Neanthertals, humans and two others that I forgot, one of them was named Lucy I think.

They also had lots of spiders at the Ecodrome.

After seeing the spiders we got something to eat and look what I found on top of my fries!

A pretty purple spider!
I wonder if he followed us all the way from the spider expo room.

After we had eaten we went to the jungle room where there were crocodiles! Here is one of them, he's called Hap.

There also should be an second crocodile named Snap, but all I saw were big fish.

But when we went upstairs I found Snap, he was lying in the sun.

Here I am posing together with my owner.

Outside again I spotted these pinecones. Doesn't it look beautiful with all the snow?

One last look at the Ecodrome and it was time to go as we also had a visit to my owner's mother planned.

When we got there we were just in time to take this picture of the sky before the sun was gone. I didn't even have time to get in the picture too.

After spending some time with my owner's mother we traveled back to Groningen. We were lucky the trains were still going as it was going to snow again. The trip did take longer as usual because of the snow, but we made it home in one piece!

A trip to Ecodrome - part 1

Today we made a trip to Zwolle to visit the Ecodrome, a kind of museum about animals. First we went to the station and they had a huge Christmas tree there.

When we came in Zwolle we walked to the Ecodrome.
On our way we saw some really cool wall drawings:
This octopus

And this word thingie.

Looks like we made it to the Ecodrome!

First thing I encountered inside the Ecodrome was this barrel full of mice. They were very friendly.

Next I ran into a Mammoth!

I also got to dig for old mammoth bones and found this one.

And I spotted a moose hiding behind a tree! He was very shy, but he did tell me were to find a wild boar.

And here's the wild boar! We had a nice chat about pig things.

Look at those teeth! I wonder if this is a relative of Hammie.

Here's a picture of a very gloomy bird. He was feeling too blue to talk to me.

I also saw a shark, but stayed far away from him.

And what kind of lethal bird is this?!

Look! There it is harrassing other birds. My owner told me it's a Dodo and that it is some kind of non flying pidgeon, but I do not believe her. No pidgeon is that agressive.

A Polar Bear!
This place is dangerous for a small pig like me....

Well, that's it for today. Tune in tomorrow to see if I got away from the Ecodrome in one piece!
