An Elephant and a Music Box

My owner's OtherHalf has been on another trip and he brought me back two souvenirs!

A small elephant and a music box.

The music box plays 'La Valse d'Amélie' one of my favorite songs. If you don't know it, you can listen to it here. And if you never saw 'Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain', the movie this music is from, you should find it and see it as it's one of the most beautiful movies ever in my opinion.

And a close up of the elephant.
Isn't he great!?

I'm very happy with these souvenirs!

A Trip to the Zoo (part 3)

We spend lots of time at the aquariums looking at all the beautiful and weird fish.

And the occasional lobster.

This one looked very fierce!

There also were aquariums with beautiful corals and such.

After all the fish we saw some animals that like to eat fish (among others): African slender-snouted crocodiles.

At the Petting Zoo I saw these ferocious chicks!

Guinea Pigs

And more relatives!

As you can see these were not as distant as the other relative I saw and I had a little chat with one of them.

After talking with my relative we saw flamingos.

And a turtle (or tortoise, I keep mixing them up.)

We saw lots more animals, but I don't have pictures of them all. I did see an Art Elephant with pigs painted on him though!

And to end my three day long rambling about the Zoo I leave you with some pictures of one of my owner's favourite animals:

A Trip to the Zoo (part 2)

After seeing my relative we went on to these weird birds: Marabou Storks. They looked like a bunch of grumpy old men I think.



Another one of the Art Elephants! This one was painted to look like a rhino!

I also saw pelicans.

I got to explore a jungle!

We took a break from watching the animals and bought ice cream. I got to taste two kinds of ice cream!



After the ice cream break I explored this field of flowers. I think they're Black-Eyed-Susans.

We also saw some expo's and one was about dinosaurs!

And look: some kind of Iguana!
Wow, they have a lot of different animals at the Zoo.

I loved the aquariums, there were lots of cool fish swimming in them.

Very beautiful.

And that's not even all! Tune in again tomorrow for the third and final part of my trip to the Zoo, with even more fish and relatives!

A Trip to the Zoo (part 1)

Today we went on a trip to the Zoo. We had to travel by bus to get there.

It was a long ride and I kept looking if we were close to the Zoo yet, but it took a long time.

My owner spend the time reading. I wish I'd brought my guitar or a book too.

I finally found a button with Stop on it. I pressed it and the bus stopped at just the right station.

We had to walk a short distance to the Zoo and on our way there we spotted this elephant.

Isn't it cool?

There were tons of elephants everywhere and they were all painted. It was some kind of elephant art show!

I really love this one, it's very beautiful.



And then we were at the Zoo!
First we visited the Prairie dogs.

This one was trying to dig a hole.

My owner took a picture from very close by, but she told me to stay away in case the Prairie dogs would try to kidnap me and drag me off into their burrow.

After seeing the Prairie dogs I saw a bear!!

And I noticed a distant relative, but he was distant in more ways than one.

Next up: more cool animals. Tune in tomorrow for part 2 of my trip to the Zoo.
