On Tuesday I visited my friend, who recently adopted two retired breeding Bengal cats, Juniper, a shy petite queen who resisted being photographed, and Bear, a huge stud.
When he was a tiny kitten Bear's mother had caught his eye with a claw, so he has lived his life happily with just one.
I made another trip to the zoo last Wednesday, and though the tiger cubs did not appear, a new baby llama made its entry into the world. This is the sweetie at just 2-and-a-half hours old:
One reason why the cubs may not have appeared is they had their first vet encounter, where they were vaccinated, microchipped and sexed - two boys and a girl.
Fabulous...
ReplyDeleteYour friend's cat has beautiful markings! And SQUEEEEE on the baby llama!! Baby animals are the cutest things.
ReplyDeleteAs gorgeous as they are too bad the can't be left alone and lead a happy life in the wild.
ReplyDeleteWhat little "wild" there is left for them after we've destroyed their habitat to make cosmetics or biofuel. Llamas are pretty well domesticated, so luckily no problems there.
ReplyDeleteI'll take the tigger cubs.....!
