I took this shot in "Serengetipark". On the 10 km trip you'll see the animals roam free through the park. You ride in your own car.

a few days ago i went to an animal refuge in the small bolivian town of samaipata. it had a similar vibe to the monkey sanctuary i went to a couple of years ago in la paz - with most of the animals roaming free. we went to have a closer look at this monkey, when she swung towards us and jumped into the arms of one of my friends. she looked sad, and clearly wanted either attention or affection. when we spoke to one of the staff members we learnt why - her partner had died a week earlier and she was still grieving. cue sympathetic sighs from everyone around and a maternal instinct to provide as much comfort as we could offer.

here's the original

Maybe you saw your first iPad today, but I just met the Mahna Mahna. I totally win.

The Indian rhinoceros or the greater one-horned rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis) is now found almost exclusively in Nepal and North-Eastern India. The Indian rhinoceros has thick, silver-brown skin which creates huge folds all over its body. Its upper legs and shoulders are covered in wart-like bumps, and it has very little body hair.

Bhopu is at the San Diego Safari Park in Escondido, CA. The rhino's single horn is present in both males and females, but not on newborn young. The black horn, like human fingernails, is pure keratin and starts to show after about 6 years. Bhopu's has been worn down naturally by rubbing on trees and rocks.
