awesome gnat, but did you feel a little sad for them that they were chained up??
i felt a bit bad after going to the zoo yesterday, if only that they didnt have endless room to move about it. I still love what the Melbourne Zoo does tho, big ups!

hmm.. went there excited but suspicious
they were babies saved after mum killed by poachers. locals take them to the monastery
they'd have been fucked otherwise
they didn't go and catch them to use as a tourist attraction- they were taken there due to circumstances, along with lots of other animals and before he knew it the monk had a menagerie
they're building a massive enclosure for them to roam more currently
i've heard a male tiger commands 30 sq k's of territory tho so would never be enough
but i guess better there than dead
i'm still undecided. WSPA would have a coronary i'm sure but from a purely selfish point of view it was one of the best things i've ever done

Wow, nice captures Karl and Oli!

Come home and this time nature decided to take the other tree away! Struck by lightning:

'bunnies' are pests gnat. terminal mixo, all of them. Except yours, your bunny is the only one without ok.
still don't know how they became such a big indie icon when they are pests?
