It’s Not A Small World After All (Part 2)

June 17th, 2009

For part the first, depress thine arrowhead HERE.

So this is Avilon Zoo.

I didn’t realize there’s a zoo this big in the Philippines.

Hey, is that Bambi?

I dub thee Braveheart of Chickens.

Hath any soul perceived Duende, resin of my resin?

Hello there, Ursus thibetanus, better known as the Moon Bear! Those who aren’t so lucky are called Bile Bears because they are held in captivity so that their bile can be extracted and sold as traditional Chinese medicine. How can humans be so vile!

No one will take your bile here, Moon Bear! Not while Duende is around!

… Did I just see a BJD riding a pony back there?

Did I just see ..?

Maven, isn’t that ..?

Not only are all these BJDs invading my blog, they have also invaded Avilon Zoo!

I hope you did not go all the way to the zoo to take photos of dolls, girls.

Hey, wait!

Ulalume, it’s him! IT’S –

Panthera pardus saxicolor, better known as the Iranian Leopard, largest of all the subspecies of leopards in the world.

Highly endangered due to poaching for fur, trophy hunting, poisoning, fires, habitat and prey loss. I am here to make sure no one steals your fur off your back, Mr. Leopard!

Smile for the camera, guys! 3 … 2 …

Is it just me or has the wildlife here become more diverse?

Hey, is that –

CLICK! That’s 50 pesos, thank you!

WHUT.

OMG IT’S UNO! UNO HAS COME TO AVILON ZOO! WOOT WOOT!

To be continued.

Guest appearances by Maven and Ulalume from Dormitorya Tzara, Gigil and Sarah’s Sinag and Klaus, Lilith’s Verchiel, Zhane’s Katarzyna, Chii’s Ailesh and Celandri, and the ManikaManila girls.
