Melbourne Zoo 2013!

Sneaky, those just popped in while I was posting!

Lovely pics of some big cats GR.

Lai

GR, thank you for the story and the pics! Do you have any photos of the baby elephant and the hippos?

It took hours of research work to find out the names of the leopards, so I am happy that you could confirm that I was right.

CC

Lai (leopard function room). Talk about false advertising!

Because when you say that something is about a leopard it should be; unless there are leopards that can in fact change their spots

Oh no! I know what I should have done as something humouress and co-productive. I ought to create cards advertising WAA, and this I could have handed to the zoo keeper! We need more members

"There is a home for you rabbit." Wow, what an introduction!

Perhaps it is just this 'sub' species of bongo that the Melbourne Zoo are talking about then, and not bongos as a whole

Bongos, like leopards, are very reclusive

And yes, they have a great tongue, so like a giraffe I suppose. So its a cross between a leopard and giraffe obviously

CC, thanks for asking about the ele and hippo; I will get onto more postings. Computer was running rather slow on pic uploads last night.

Doesn't want to upload anything right now but will try again later

GR. More lovely photos and especially the ele ones. Thanks for sharing.

What is the top photo? I don't recognise the animal

E aka Lai et al

Swearing at the laptop worked - sometimes it's good for emphasis - but only briefly

Lai, that first new pic is of a coati, a small catish creature that resides in Central America. They are interesting characters, as they seem to have a bit of a cheeky personality like the meerkat (or Jack Russell ) and they are constantly on the move. Only that makes it difficult to take happy snaps.

Especially on my camera as you have to hold the button down and wait a few seconds. "Don't move, don't move, oh !"

At least posting in short pic amounts will dramtically increase in posting numbers. It's cheating and performance enhancing. Right on cue with the commencement of the Giro cycling event

I will have a lot to answer to to the when I soon take over Mrs Kipia's lead in WAA posts

More still to come!

GR for perservering with the uploading of pics. A Coati, okay that a cool looking animals. I am going to look it up now.

Love all the ele photos, they are gorgeous and the tigers look very handsome.

Keep them coming .......... S

Mrs Kipia - and no way Onesie Man, I am not letting you catch up ever

Coati

Coatis, genera Nasua and Nasuella, also known as Brazilian aardvarks, Mexican tejón or moncún, hog-nosed coons, pizotes, Panamanian gatosolos, crackoons and snookum bears, are members of the raccoon family

Snookum bears oh I love that name it really conjurs up a vision of a very cute little creature.

Just had a lovely time catching up on your visit and all the glorious pics GR. The ele pics are just so beautiful and gave me so many smirks but I also loved the Tiger ones, my favourite big cat indeedy......pinching your sayings now
I did have a good laugh about you mowing down old ladies and children, that was so funny, you sound like me when im on a mission, nothing is getting in my way
Shame about the hat, usually there are adult hats as well, never mind. How brilliant that you had the whole experience to yourself, that must have been amazing but a shame no-one else wanted to have a Bongo experience, poor fellow.
Brilliant that you persevered to get your pics on, i'm really pleased you did as they are wonderful and I will be checking them out again as they are lovely.

Mmmmmm over take Lai on the rabbiting, I think not, our chief rabbiter will not give up her position that easily, she has rabbited hard for it and I reckon she will continue to give us all a run for our money

If you have any more pics I would love to see them
littlewid-x-

Littlewid, and I will keep on for sure.

Lai

Snookum bears are a very cute little creature!



You are right gals; no way that I will ever run down that ele rabbit

Glad you are liking the pics! I take a lot of them, posting what I hope are goodish ones! With the bongo encounter I could not take photos, but they had a photographer there snapping away; all a part of money making really. I forked out $30 for three photos. They are pretty good, but would rather have just paid $50 to get the 50 or so she took sent to me via email!

Pinching anyones saying is a grand compliment indeedy

And if they get used enough then one can even forget where they came from, and it doesn't realy matter, just that it is a positive term or phrase.

Love those Snookum bear pic GR

That would have been a good idea, perhaps you could suggest that!

E

Hippo!

Photo GR - especially the underwater view.

Thanks for continuing to fight the broadband!

Mrs Kipia

Sorry, but uploading is really bad/slow. More to come later in the week!

Just chillin' he's one cool meerkat

Thanks for trying though GR

Lai

Internet is rubbish again tonight so not going to fight it (refresh, refresh, refresh, refresh....). Going offline and doing some story writing. I am at my folkies tomorrow night (not normally a Wednesday but my brother will be over too ) so maybe more pics will be uploaded Thursday. They are just sitting here waiting to make their mark!

The Internet can be a real GR, our friends over in Sydney are having problems as well, especialy when Skyping.
some really great shots GR. To be honest I'm spoiled for choice for a WAA Frame Award, so I've gone multiple, and there may be more to come
First Award. As Tigers are my favourite Big Cat


Second for Cuteness


Third for Dedication to


WS

WS - great selection and I couldn't agree more.

Lai

Three WAA frame awards is wonderful Foxrobin A big indeedy!

My new onesie suit is especially smirk-inducing

good for you.

Lovely photos, that Meerkat is just so and what is that tree GR? It's amazing looking. Good to see a big cat doing what it does best

Thanks for sharing more photos.

Mrs Kipia
