No blogs since last Thursday? Sorry kids, I was more or less on holiday. But this carefree post is courtesy of the animals of the Budapest Zoo.
Here is the quick background of this picture. This pen was full of a weird but fun assortment of animals. The mutant jackrabbits were fighting over a loaf of bread. Jackrabbit Bob kept it real when Jackrabbit Neal tried to take too much bread. Note that attack stream from Bob hurtling towards Neal. "Take that, wanker!" says Bob. "Ewwwww" says Neal. I don't get why Neal wasn't similarly equipped to fight back.
The groundhogs at the zoo weren't shy and had quite a party going on. There was a buffet in the middle of the dirt field, lots of shady lounge holes, and then there was Chip, the extra friendly groundhog. You can't see the wife, but that groundhog paw is held longingly against the glass in her direction.
Separation of beast and man isn't so important in some countries. This little monkey-thing was very cute and basically running free inside a large enclosure that you walked through. And it was freaked out. This shot is of the little dude letting out blood-curdling screeches because a horde of tourists was chasing him with their cameras.
One of the few cages marked with a sticker indicating 'dangerous animal' contained a small pack of arctic wolves. This one had no fear of humans and I think was waiting for one of these camera-phone wielding idiots to come just a bit closer. That fence you can see was the only thing between man-fingers and beast.
That's all for now... Cheers!
