Animal pics...

by belgianchocolate - last update: Jun 12, 2007

Can I tell you a secret?


Secrets are told under the trees , in the shadow
of an old tree on a hot day.

That look...


I know it is wrong to project complex human emotions on animals ,
but sometimes I feel there is no escape.
I just wonder if they are aware of their beauty...
I think they are since it is parth of their breeding strategy.
praying mantis

Praying mantis!

This creature attacked my car
when i was in the south of france.
In the middle of the cevennes....
U ARE WARNED !

And now I've been to Indonesia ,
I've discovered that there are lots
of different species , sizes , colors...
insectologues

How can this happen?

This is a male orangutan I saw in
the zoo in Bandung , Indonesia.
It hurts me to see him like this.
Probably he is a product of illegal trade...
He became too big at the home of
people who kept him as a pet
and he was dropped in the zoo.
Other possibilities : born there , but
oops he is a male , one male in a group...
or he was used in a show circus.

Anyway - its strange that people have fun
watching him.
Can you see what his eyes are telling?

I can.
bruni

Bruni and the cheetah

This is Bruni , a friend of mine;
She was already in her seventies when
this picture was taken.
Sometimes in life you have too choose
, take the picture and run ,
or save a friend from the predator.
You know what I will choose. lol
tuan

Tuan

This is Tuan , the male orangutan at the antwerp zoo.
He was born in Keulen and not accepted by his parents.
So he got raised by the directors family
at home. (nowadays most rejected little
ones go to stuttgart , kindergarden , to learn
social skills )He now lives with Astrid
in Antwerp zoo. Isn't he amazing.
We are sort of silent friends.
I visit him a few times a week and
then he comes over and we sit and watch eachother.
His eyes tell a lot. Take some time to notice him.
I know Orangs aren't the most attractive animals.
They don't make as much noice as chimps
and they don't move to much... but.
miriam

Miriam

It sometimes takes houres
to take the picture u want.
This is one of them.
How I did it?
More then an hour I waved
with carrots and stuff like that...
Do you know what it is? lol
gorilla

Hannover gorilla lady

Sometimes it happens ,
u open the envelop with the new pictures
you have made and one gives you chills.
This was one of them.
Missy looked right into the lens.
She lives at the
gorilla mountain at hannover zoo.
