European Bison

A European Bison, family of  bulls as you can see. They are one of the scariest character in the Narnia book which I am reading at the moment. I took this photo last bank holiday this year at Howlettes Animal park in Bekesbourne.

Entry for Camera Critters  this week..

Meeting the Worlds Biggest Cats

Last bank holiday Monday bunny and I went to Howlettes Animal wild park in Bekesbourne (blog here). We've seen lots of wild animals and managed to see them all despite of a very cold weather. We took loads of photos especially of my favourite wild animal Mr. Tiger.

This is the Bengal Indian Tiger which I really loved watching and taking pictures of. In fact I even have video of him having a wee..hehe. According to Howlettes Animal trivia the habitat of this kind of tiger is mostly in swampy wetland area and forest of Northern and South-West of India. And as we all know tiger is the largest of all cats. Scientifically known as Panthera tigris, it is the most fascinating and fearsome creature int he world.Anyways, so much to say, you can find out more about the Bengal Indian Tiger here.

And this a bit shaky, fussy photo above is an ocelot.I beg your pardon for not so clear photo but bunny and I struggled so much time trying to get a perfect photo of this creature, this is just the best we took..hasit! Anyhow back to ocelot, it is a native of south America and scientifically known as Leopardus pardalis. As you can see ocelot has a spot/stripey combination fur coat and is brownish in colour, unlike the Bengal that it is just stripey and in yellowish/reddish colour. It is not as big as Bengal tiger as well. It is feed by small deers,rabbits and other reptiles. I reckon if any chance they will be a wonderful pet!I wish!hmmpp..Want to know more about this creature, click here.

This snob looking creature is called Serval (Lepatailirus Serval). Not so very big, serval is generally found in most parts of Africa excluding the dessert regions. They have extraordinarily long legs, long necks and small heads. It weighs approximately 8-18kg. and 8-1.3m long. They are quite interesting bit different and runs a lot, fast! More details click here.

I'm sure I've seen and encountered more of the cats species at Howlettes, just that I can't find a decent photo. Anyways hope you picked even a bit of info in my post. These animal details are mostly picked at Howlettes website but all opinions and sentence constructions are mine. Sharing this post to Camera Critters!Great day!

We Call her "Chio"

This is "Chio" our half Belgian breed pet dog back in the Philippines. It's me who gave her this name, got it from the Japanese movie "Memoirs of Geisha", one of my favourite movie.We took this photo the day my brother in law brought her home.So that means she's more than a year old now.We dressed her like a boy for we thought she was he.hehe.. She's so cuddly, bit loud especially when doggy guys come pass by my sister's house. That's all I can remember of her when I was there. And one thing I won't ever forget about her was that I always washed and clean her poo after I've finished my laundry. Eeww..

Wind and the Willows

As I've mentioned in my previous blogs, my bunny likes collecting and playing card games and board games. And this is one of his card game, Wind and the Willows. Do you know this game, or the story? Well, Wind and the willows is a popular children story here in England. This is a story of friendship between the 4 characters, Mr. Mole, Badger, Ratty and Toad and the bad weasel who lives in the wild wood. it's is mainly Mr.Mole, Badger and Ratty saving Toad in all his wrong doings like driving recklessly, messing things up, all because of his arrogant behaviour. So that's a bit of a hint on the story, if you want to read some chapters or series of Wind and the Willows story click here. And now I'll give you a summary of the game mechanics; you will be deal of 4 cards, and in order to win the game,u must collect and complete all four characters Mr. Mole, Badger,Ratty and Toad. If you have weasel you have to put it down, and if you have wild woods you have to put it down but you have to pick up all the weasel that is put down. The to the party cards allows you swap with the characters you want that is being put down by the one you followed to. Easy isn't it? Good card game for the children as well, surely it's fun!

Oh Dear, it's Bambi Deer!

Does anyone of  you have read or watch "Bambi"? Very inspiring story isn't it? I do love that kind of movies, like "Lion King" and " Shrek". In short movies for kids. hehe.. Today my animal feature for my blogpost in Camera Critters is the family of  Bambi..a deer. First and foremost I'll give a recognition to my hunny cos it's his photo (thanks hunny!). He took it last year on a bank holiday at Wildwood with parents inlaw and his nieces (Emilia and Phoebe). I wasn't here yet :(

A Thought of "Adobo Geese"

I was on my mood swing again apparently when we got passed in what they call " Lovers Walk" in Matlock Bath (a town before Bakewell, Derbyshire where we spent our honeymoon) when my hunny said if we could have a walk there too. I said no and sat down beside the street while he's texting my mother inlaw about something. And just as I saw he's a bit busy texting, I quickly got in the park and sat in the bench beside a tree which you can't really be seen from the entrance of the park. Was thinking of letting my hunny find me.hehe...And so whilst I was sitting, I saw these fat geese all walked near me looking for food. I took a photo of them and smiled with the  thought that, you can't see a wild animal like this roaming in a park in my country. Whilst they're all be make "adobo geese".haha..It is a popular Filipino dish "adobo". You can either cook it with pork or chicken or both. Miss it lots.Was thinking of "adobo geese" honestly when I saw these fat geese. Will it be as yummy as a "duck adobo?". (wink!)
