• Baby Clouded Leopards

    The baby clouded leopards are now ferocious hunters.

    image

    They each got their own treat. But they are siblings, so of course one treat was ignored and they fought over the other one.

    image

    Even though they were exactly the same.

    image

    The loser was unimpressed.

    image

    Although the winner didn’t actually eat it either.

    image

    Then something happened in the pond. Something you apparently had to be a cat to see. But it was very interesting.

    image

    Then they got back to the food-toy.

    image

    Put it in his mouth.

    image

    And spit it back out again.

    image

    If anyone’s wondering why the zoo doesn’t give the animals live prey, this is the reason.

    image

    It’s certainly not because they aren’t mighty hunters.

    image

    They are totally ferocious.

    image

    Cute.

    image

    But ferocious.

  • New Brunswick Museum

    We won’t bore you with most of the stuff in the museum. Just the pictures of Kerri posing.

    image

    She was more excited about being in the jaw of a whale than she was about being a moth.

    image

    She was very puzzled by the art.

    image

    The art was a bunch of inscribed silver platters mounted on the wall. The text in the one above reads “dear curator: it’s okay, I don’t understand this art either.” We generally agreed with the sentiment, but it was still a rather boring exhibit.

    image

    Some of them used nasty language that we would never repeat.

    image

    This taxidermist needs more practice.

  • Mansion

    We spent the last night at an old shipbuilder’s mansion.

    image

    This is the living room.

    image

    But that’s the public one. This is our private sitting room.

    image

    It wrapped around the corner to a small kitchen.

    image

    This is our bedroom.

    image

    The bathroom won’t fit in one shot. This is the bathtub.

    image

    Around the corner is the shower.

    image

    And on the other side is an absurd amount of empty space for no reason.

    image

    It had an extraordinary view.

    image

    It was slightly better without the rain.

    image

    But of course the view is best from the chairs.
