Day trip - Fife Animal Park

Since Bex works @ the animal park as a volunteer - we went a day where she wasn't at work so she could enjoy it as well. And it meant going into the enclosure of the Lemurs and get to handle them - or get handled - as was the case with Chess - hand reared and people loving.

I can haz a lemur! (This is Chess - she's da boss)

Either Rita or Ricky - Bex would be able to tell *g*

04072011-008
Porcupine - prickly (huge) thing ^_^

White wallbies - which I've never seen before - proper albino ones as well - red eyes and all.

I iz working on my tan! Go 'way!

I've never seen a skunk this color - male one - and quite big.

Easiest bird picture ever! It did not move! Blinked once or twice, but that's it.

Because Bex was with us, we got to go behind the monkey cages - and get close to them - smelly but adorable *g*

[personal profile] nicci_mac getting mugged by Fang - who isn't hand reared and doesn't climb people nearly as much as Chess does... O.o - no he's not angry or upset - he's just not so good at chewing his grapes because of the one fang situation.

Oh dear LOL - this is Bex trying to keep one of the lemurs away from the box of grapes.

Full set of the Fife Animal Park

Critters!!! :-D Gosh, so much adorable. Lemurs are the only monkey-ish creatures I really like. Perhaps because they're primates, but not actually monkeys or apes. And the rest: so much adorable.
Racoons, skunk, pairie dogs - all some of my favourites :-)

(Secret: I once petted a prairie dog in Copenhagen. You're not supposed to. They have coarse fur :-) And they're rodents and you know, me and rodents… long-time love!)

((I haven't uploaded any of my animal icons yet. So you get the Impala instead. She's kind of a pet…))

Monkeeee! Or, um, not!

But! All very pretty!

Gosh, there you are petting zoo animals and I'm once again slaving away at uni :oP Well, all things told you probably deserve it more than I do ;o)

Well, I kind of did it to myself! (Signed up for a summer class.) But I am regretting it a bit :oP (Nah, it is okay, but it's suddenly REALLY obvious that everyone else is in vacation mode.)

I hope so! (It's about evolution and literature. I'm bracing myself for being told that I and all my friends are abnormal mutants (not straight), but so far it's going okay.)

Did a similar thing - did not ask for vacation this summer, except for three measly days, which seemed fine at the time, but now everyone's vacation mode is really rubbing off on me D:

It seemed like such a good idea at the time! But then you get to take a vacation at some other time, right? When everyone else is back at work.
blnchflr: Umm… Yeah. I meant to do that. (I meant to do that.)

I'm continually thinking about going somewhere in fall. But I want vacation now and go back to Jutland and go for walks in the summer-warm and -fragrant forest, and go to the beach and swim in the waves and lie in the sand afterwards!! *Stomps feet in frustration*

And enjoy a cool beverage in the garden and go pick a pea of the vine and - Y I NO CAN HAS?!?

That does sound very nice ;_; On the plus side, the weather has really been mostly crappy thus far this summer :oP

From inside work it really hasn't seemed bad at all! But Jutland did have all that rain when we had sunny weather, so maybe it seems worse on your side of the sound.

I love those porcupines! I've fed them peanuts in the shell at this animal park a couple of times, which they loved. We were buddies there for a while, *nods*. Until I ran out of peanuts.

*snort* Isn't that just typical. Porcupines, they only want your for your peanuts :oP

Fickle, fickle creatures. But so cute <3 - it's better to have lost and fed and lost, than not to have loved or fed at all!
