We Came. We Saw. We Sweated. (Guangzhou Zoo Part II

The safari bit took us really up close and personal. Some of the sportsmen out there will like this one-


Insert "rack" comment/innuendo here. Lumbering along further these two zebras were really going at it. Trinity got an awesome shot!


Well, the neck up anyways. Got some video of this too. there was a takedown and they were on the ground. it was really kinda frightening as it was happening about 20 yards away and they were at full gallop at one point.

We got through ok and decided to have some lunch.


You try and I'll buy.

Koala butt. just kidding. Here's the "aaaaaawwwwwwwwww" shot.

Check out this bear sleeping.

No, I mean check out THIS bear sleeping. Looks hungry. Maybe he should have some Net Offal.

This dude got whacked upside the head and knocked end over a few minutes before by a trainer with what looked like about 5 ft of pvc pipe. Not sure if she was feeding it or what, but he was not too happy once he came too. He got all puffed up and charged her. His squawk is what you imagine. Wren began imitating it, funny. Family trait.


Meerkats! They were being fed while we were there. Little creepy crawly worms, I tried to get a shot of the feed bucket.
 


Ok, part 3 coming up shortly. As I wrap this day up and ever so subtly try to weave in a narrative for all this. i.e. what makes China unique.
