@ Standing Lion Scaredy Cat has been looking forward to meeting the huge variety of other animals on this Summer Safari. What a treat to find Tressla here, too! Standing Lion This lion may be standing alertly looking at you as you drift by on Crocodile Creek, but don't let him scare you! He's actually glad to see you - not as his lunch, but hoping you'll join him for lunch! Pets have a hard time getting close to him, so he's very desirous of having a good friend!
While on Safari, you met Tressla.
Scaredy Cat shook paws with Tressla the Blue Beautiful Unicorn.They both received one silver mole!
@ Intense Tiger Scaredy Cat was excited to meet up again with Lillian. They both took a moment to admire the amazing scene around them. Intense Tiger This tiger is very protective of all of the pets that live along, or in, Crocodile Creek - hence his intense look as he asks you what your intent is for being in the area. Just answer his questions without getting sassy, and you'll be permitted to continue your journey into the land of "Croc Creek", as the locals call it.
While on Safari, you met Lillian.
Scaredy Cat shook paws with Lillian the Lilac Daydream Unicorn.They both received one silver mole!
@ Look-Out Cheetah “What an amazing creature!” exclaimed Scaredy Cat. Elias agreed with Scaredy Cat. “I’m seeing so many animals, birds and insects that I’ve never seen before!” Look-Out Cheetah The land of Crocodile Creek is so special to its year-round and seasonal residents, and so welcoming to those who have heard about it and are curious, that cheetahs are posted at all of its entrances to spot newcomers. Because of their sense of sight, smell and speed, they are the best equipped pets to spot guests coming from a distance, and be able to run and tell the residents of "Croc Creek" that they have company coming.
While on Safari, you met Elias.
Scaredy Cat shook paws with Elias the Graceful Elephant.They both received one silver mole!
@ Lounging Oryx “You never know what sort of critter to expect next, do you, Taki?" whispered Scaredy Cat. “You know, small, cute and furry or really quite, um, large, with—er—very sharp teeth.” Taki reassured Scaredy Cat that all the critters were looking forward to meeting them, regardless of size, furriness, cuteness and/or type of teeth. Lounging Oryx Crocodile Creek is the perfect place to relax from one's journey. This oryx, part of the antelope family, is able to enjoy a break from walking, which isn't an easy task due to its long, spear-like horns. These may be made up of the same stuff as human fingernails (keratin), but at 3-feet long each, they can be quite a load!
While on Safari, you met Taki.
Scaredy Cat shook paws with Taki the African Penguin Chick.They both received one silver mole!
@ Ruminating Rhinos “What an amazing creature!” exclaimed Scaredy Cat. Snarky agreed with Scaredy Cat. “I’m seeing so many animals, birds and insects that I’ve never seen before!” Ruminating Rhinos Crocodile Creek's rhinos, while made to feel a part of the "Croc Creek Community", tend to feel that some of the pets are a bit stand-offish. They aren't sure if their pointy horns or their stout appearance makes some of their neighbors nervous, but they really are kindhearted and eager to be friends.
While on Safari, you met Snarky.
Scaredy Cat shook paws with Snarky the Chameleon Snail.They both received one silver mole!
@ Elephant Quarter “Ooh, that’s a scary looking creature!” whispered Alex. “It’s bigger than me! I’ll stay here and wait for you to come back.” “C’mon, Alex, it’ll be fine—it’s not so very big; it's a trick of perspective, and anyway, it’s looking forward to meeting us!” said Scaredy Cat. Elephant Quarter Need help remembering the difference between an African elephant and an Indian elephant? An African elephant's ears are, rather helpfully, the shape of Africa. Elephants can make calls that are so low in pitch, they are below the range of human hearing. These amazing animals can recognise over 100 different friends from their calls alone.
While on Safari, you met Alex.
Scaredy Cat shook paws with Alex the Midnight Happy Dragon.They both received one silver mole!
@ Brown Bear River Scaredy Cat opened his rucksack to change his hat. Draco could see Scaredy Cat had a large, floppy sunhat, a balaclava, a rain hat, a woolly bobble hat, a beanie, a deerstalker hat and a swimming cap! “Did you bring a fez too?” Draco asked Scaredy Cat. Brown Bear River Have we surprised this brown bear taking an early morning bath or is he keeping very still in the water in the hopes of catching an unwary fish?
While on Safari, you met Draco.
Scaredy Cat shook paws with Draco the Midnight Happy Dragon.They both received one silver mole!
@ Dazzle of Zebra Scaredy Cat and Roy got so engrossed in the conversation they were having with their fascinating new friend that they had to hurry along so as not to be left behind! They regretfully bade farewell to their new chum and promised to visit again! Dazzle of Zebra Did you know the collective name for a group of zebra is a "dazzle"? Also, “motion dazzle” is an optical illusion that occurs when groups of zebra move quickly together. Would you say that zebras are white animals with black stripes? It has been determined that they are actually black animals with white stripes!
While on Safari, you met Roy.
Scaredy Cat shook paws with Roy the Strawberry Milky Moo Cow.They both received one silver mole!
@ Loving Lemur “Ooh, that’s a scary looking creature!” whispered Toothless. “It’s bigger than me! I’ll stay here and wait for you to come back.” “C’mon, Toothless, it’ll be fine—it’s not so very big; it's a trick of perspective, and anyway, it’s looking forward to meeting us!” said Scaredy Cat. Loving Lemur While those outside of Crocodile Creek think of lemurs as being ghosts or spirits due to their big round eyes and black & white coloring, they really are "furballs of fun" according to the local residents. While they spend lots of their time in the trees in groups called "troops", they don't use their tails to frolic like their cousins do, but mainly their hands and feet.
While on Safari, you met Toothless.
Scaredy Cat shook paws with Toothless the Midnight Happy Dragon.They both received one silver mole!
@ Gazing Giraffe Scaredy Cat was very happy to meet Ivory here! They both swapped tales of their experiences of their travels so far! Gazing Giraffe As you float along Crocodile Creek, or venture onto its shores, you may see not just the branches of trees over your head, but you might find yourself gazing into the eyes of this giraffe. Because of their long necks, "Croc Creek's" giraffes help to keep a watchful eye over the land, especially over the neighborhoods that have settled in the tree tops.
While on Safari, you met Ivory.
Scaredy Cat shook paws with Ivory the Leopard gecko.They both received one silver mole!
@ Colorful Macaw Scaredy Cat and 灰心 were entranced at reaching this stopping place and eagerly posed for a picture standing on either side of the attractive creature they had just met! Colorful Macaw Whenever residents of Crocodile Creek need to do some paining for their homes or businesses, they seek out the macaws who run the area's paint shop. Whether paining a room indoors or needing to add a new coat of color outdoors, the macaw's feathers will help you decide which color to choose!
While on Safari, you met 灰心.
Scaredy Cat shook paws with 灰心 the Panda Cub.They both received one silver mole!
@ Hyper Hippopotamus Scaredy Cat was very happy to meet Tornado here! They both swapped tales of their experiences of their travels so far! Hyper Hippopotamus This very large resident of Crocodile Creek may look very calm, but underneath this hippo's hide is a tummy doing flip-flops from the excitement of having new pets moving into her end of the neighborhood. She stays under the water quite often, but her nerves have been known to get the better of her, causing her to come up abruptly, oftentimes under boats bringing new neighbors.
While on Safari, you met Tornado.
Scaredy Cat shook paws with Tornado the Blue Beautiful Unicorn.They both received one silver mole!
@ Duckling Nook “I’ve written a postcard to my aunty to tell her about our amazing safari!” said Scaredy Cat. “She’ll wish she was here! Where’s the nearest postbox?” Choose a name shielded her eyes and rotated 360°, elaborately scanning the horizon. “I don’t think they’ve thought to provide a postbox here, Scaredy Cat. How remiss of them!” Seeing Scaredy Cat’s ears beginning to droop, Choose a name added, “Don’t worry, you can post your card after this leg of the safari.” Duckling Nook Ducklings spend only a short time in the nest—a matter of some hours—before they leave to follow their mother out onto the water. They can recognise their mother's calling sounds from other ducks' in their first days after hatching. They can feed themselves when they reach the water, but they need to learn what is edible by observing their mother.
While on Safari, you met Choose a name.
Scaredy Cat shook paws with Choose a name the Tabby Cat.They both received one silver mole!
@ Perched Heron Both Jubb Jubb and Scaredy Cat love the scenery at the next stop, and they both enjoy introducing themselves to their new friend, who has been waiting to meet them! Perched Heron In the land of Crocodile Creek, herons make up some of the "creek patrol". Their long legs allow for them to stride into the deeper waters of the creek to rescue any pets who aren't the best swimmers; while their wide wingspan allows them to glide along the water's surface quickly and gracefully. Many of the residents enjoy watching them majestically fly overhead and will startle them just so they'll take off into the air!
While on Safari, you met Jubb Jubb.
Scaredy Cat shook paws with Jubb Jubb the Midnight Happy Dragon.They both received one silver mole!
@ Tranquil Swan Scene "Wasn’t it worth coming all this way, Scaredy Cat," said Mittens, "for this experience alone?" Scaredy Cat, admiring the creature at the centre of the scene they were now in, heartily agreed! Tranquil Swan Scene A graceful mute swan glides down the river with its almost perfect reflection in the water showing the peace of this scene.
While on Safari, you met Mittens.
Scaredy Cat shook paws with Mittens the Ragdoll Kitten.They both received one silver mole!
@ Frolicking Frog “I could stay here forever, Scaredy Cat,” said Ginny. “This is an amazing place!” “Well, you never know what lies ahead, Ginny. I wouldn't be surprised if the next stop is even better!” said Scaredy Cat. Frolicking Frog While perfectly at home in the waters of Crocodile Creek, this frog and his friends have been known to venture onshore after a heavy rainfall in order to hop, jump and investigate what many of the on-lander pets do during the day.
While on Safari, you met Ginny.
Scaredy Cat shook paws with Ginny the Midnight Happy Dragon.They both received one silver mole!
@ Great Tit River Nook “You never know what sort of critter to expect next, do you, Roach?" whispered Scaredy Cat. “You know, small, cute and furry or really quite, um, large, with—er—very sharp teeth.” Roach reassured Scaredy Cat that all the critters were looking forward to meeting them, regardless of size, furriness, cuteness and/or type of teeth. Great Tit River Nook Great Tits are known for their intelligence; scientists were amazed to discover the Great Tit habit of solving problems through insight rather than by trial and error. A great example of this in practice was in England in 1921. In those days almost everyone had very early morning milk deliveries to their doorsteps in one pint glass bottles covered with a foil cap. It was noted that Great Tits had successfully learnt to take off the foil lids to obtain the cream from the top of the milk. They’ve even been known to use pine needles as tools for extracting larvae from holes in trees.
While on Safari, you met Roach.
Scaredy Cat shook paws with Roach the Sasquatch.They both received one silver mole!
@ Fancying Fox Scaredy Cat was very happy to meet star here! They both swapped tales of their experiences of their travels so far! Fancying Fox There are places along Crocodile Creek that are small, still pools of water, perfect for stopping by to use like a mirror for fixing fluffed-up feathers or frizzy fur. However, because of the peace and calm of the area, some pets have been known to linger longer than usual, staring into the waters, and daydreaming of what they could be in their community.
While on Safari, you met star.
Scaredy Cat shook paws with star the Purple Dragon Hatchling.They both received one silver mole!
@ Migrating Mandarin Duck Scaredy Cat is enjoying the view when Finn comes along. "Look! A special prize!" says Finn. Scaredy Cat looks down and sees something valuable. Well Scaredy Cat WAS here first ... Migrating Mandarin Duck This duck came all the way from China after hearing about the calm, cool waters and great shore lines of Crocodile Creek. He brought some "color" to his neck of the creek, not to mention a knack for some great Chinese cuisine that his neighbors are often invited over to enjoy!
While on Safari, you met Finn.
Scaredy Cat shook paws with Finn the Red Feisty Fox.They both received one silver mole!
@ Settled Sheep “Ooh, that’s a scary looking creature!” whispered Mocha. “It’s bigger than me! I’ll stay here and wait for you to come back.” “C’mon, Mocha, it’ll be fine—it’s not so very big; it's a trick of perspective, and anyway, it’s looking forward to meeting us!” said Scaredy Cat. Settled Sheep Along the banks of Crocodile Creek, where the waters are still, behind a line of trees, lies a hillside of green pastures. Sheep have made this their home as it is perfectly located away from some of the hustle and bustle of the creek, especially during tourist season.
While on Safari, you met Mocha.
Scaredy Cat shook paws with Mocha the Ragdoll Kitten.They both received one silver mole!
@ Reflective Horse Scaredy Cat opened his rucksack to change his hat. Bones could see Scaredy Cat had a large, floppy sunhat, a balaclava, a rain hat, a woolly bobble hat, a beanie, a deerstalker hat and a swimming cap! “Did you bring a fez too?” Bones asked Scaredy Cat. Reflective Horse Not far from the waters of Crocodile Creek, to the west of the hillside that "Croc Creek's" sheep residents have found, lays another wooded area perfect for horses. On a warm summer morning, a mist rises from the creek and wafts its way to this peaceful place where horses reside. This provides the perfect solace for these four-hoofed residents after being in town working hard at delivering mail, supplies and providing transportation of all sorts.
While on Safari, you met Bones.
Scaredy Cat shook paws with Bones the Brown Lovable Labrador.They both received one silver mole!
@ Sheep Meadow Scaredy Cat and Frosty shook paws and said “How do you do?” to the next creature who had come to meet them, and posed for a souvenir photo. “Why am I always on the left?” grumbled Scaredy Cat. “Let’s change sides.” “No,” said Frosty. “This side shows my best side.” Sheep Meadow Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison all raised sheep. Madison was sworn in wearing a coat spun from his own sheep’s wool. Woodrow Wilson kept a flock at the White House during World War I to keep the grass trimmed as a cost-cutting measure and to show support for the war effort.
While on Safari, you met Frosty.
Scaredy Cat shook paws with Frosty the Playful Penguin.They both received one silver mole!
@ Unsure Black Stork Vinny the collector was distracted by the sounds of loud rustling as Scaredy Cat unfolded a very large tourist map, in the course of which he succeeded in knocking Vinny the collector’s hat off. “Put that away, do!” snapped Vinny the collector. “We’re about to pose with this amazing creature—the picture will be of your map if you don’t fold it up pronto!” Unsure Black Stork While other waterfowl tend to dive in head-first in becoming residents of Crocodile Creek, this black stork isn't so sure he wants to jump in with both feet! So many questions are on his mind: what's under the surface here? how close is the shore? can the water be made warmer? will there be enough food? An afternoon with one of the locals will help calm him so that he can plant both feet on the ground, er, in the water.
While on Safari, you met Vinny the collector.
Scaredy Cat shook paws with Vinny the collector the Green Happy Dragon.They both received one silver mole!
Vinny the collector and you found 5 Travel Tokens!
@ Bold Blue Crane Scaredy Cat and Marty Mole agreed that the variety of environments on their expedition was the best ever! Scaredy Cat and Marty Mole exchanged opinions on which their favourite terrain had been so far, and which was the most interesting creature they had met in their travels! Bold Blue Crane While the black crane is unsure of his situation, his cousin, a blue crane, who goes by "Stanley", is regarded by many in Crocodile Creek as a "warrior", and is the first one to be called upon if there's any trouble. Finding one of his feathers is considered by the residents of "Croc Creek" as a prize of empowerment when facing each day.
While on Safari, you met Marty Mole.
Scaredy Cat shook paws with Marty Mole the Merry Mole.They both received one silver mole!
@ Friendly Capybara Scaredy Cat opened his rucksack to change his hat. Doctor Hoo could see Scaredy Cat had a large, floppy sunhat, a balaclava, a rain hat, a woolly bobble hat, a beanie, a deerstalker hat and a swimming cap! “Did you bring a fez too?” Doctor Hoo asked Scaredy Cat. Friendly Capybara One of Crocodile Creek's year-round residents happens to be the world's largest "rodents", often measuring in at 4-feet long and weighing 100 pounds. Capybaras may have a "rodent" reputation, and be imposing in its size, but they are really quite friendly, they just need some extra TLC. They will befriend every other pet in the neighborhood and they thoroughly enjoy cuddling.
While on Safari, you met Doctor Hoo.
Scaredy Cat shook paws with Doctor Hoo the Brown Owl.They both received one silver mole!
@ Trapeze-less Tamarin Scaredy Cat and Sunshine got so engrossed in the conversation they were having with their fascinating new friend that they had to hurry along so as not to be left behind! They regretfully bade farewell to their new chum and promised to visit again! Trapeze-less Tamarin These squirrel-size little fur-balls love leaping from tree to tree along Crocodile Creek. Rather than doing so from branch to branch, this little one will leap from trunk to trunk due to the fact that it doesn't get into manicures, thus its nails can securely grip the trees vertically! Their ability to traverse through trees so quickly makes them excellent messengers of important announcements for the "Croc Community".
While on Safari, you met Sunshine.
Scaredy Cat shook paws with Sunshine the Green Rapid Dragonfly.They both received one silver mole!
@ Otter Hideaway Scaredy Cat was very happy to meet slider here! They both swapped tales of their experiences of their travels so far! Otter Hideaway Don't challenge an otter to a holding-your-breath competition — an otter can stay underwater for several minutes! Otters like to stick together, and when they sleep they wrap themselves in seaweed and float together in a group. A group of resting otters is called a "raft".
While on Safari, you met slider.
Scaredy Cat shook paws with slider the Playful Penguin.They both received one silver mole!
@ Buffalo Marsh “What an amazing creature!” exclaimed Scaredy Cat. Atlas agreed with Scaredy Cat. “I’m seeing so many animals, birds and insects that I’ve never seen before!” Buffalo Marsh The water buffalo is the world's largest bovine! Males, or bulls, can weigh in at 2,650 lbs (1200 kg) with a height of 6 ft (1.82 m) (not including their horns!) And you may not believe it to look at them, but they can run as fast as 30 mph (48 kph).
While on Safari, you met Atlas.
Scaredy Cat shook paws with Atlas the Norwegian Fjord horse.They both received one silver mole!
@ Wild Horse Pasture “Let’s pose with one of us each side of our new friend and I’ll set the self-timer to take a group shot,” said Scaredy Cat to dora. “It’ll be a fab souvenir of our time here!” Wild Horse Pasture Did you know that horses can sleep both lying down and standing up? They have a lifespan of around 25 years but the oldest horse on record in the 1800s was called ‘Old Billy’ is said to have lived 62 years!

@ Kingfisher Corner “I could stay here forever, Scaredy Cat,” said Enterbeauty a name for this pet. “This is an amazing place!” “Well, you never know what lies ahead, Enterbeauty a name for this pet. I wouldn't be surprised if the next stop is even better!” said Scaredy Cat. Kingfisher Corner Kingfishers fly low and straight like bullets, reaching up to 25 mph (40 kph) but it’s not their speed that is the most interesting; it’s their beaks. Sharp, pointed, and so long that it makes up a third of a kingfisher’s height, the beak slices soundlessly through water meaning kingfishers can dive into pools without alerting fish. Engineers working on Japan’s high-speed bullet train copied the shape of this beak to prevent sonic boom whenever these fast-moving trains enter a tunnel.
While on Safari, you met Enterbeauty a name for this pet.
Scaredy Cat shook paws with Enterbeauty a name for this pet the Green Beautiful Unicorn.They both received one silver mole!

@ Migrating Canada Goose “I could stay here forever, Scaredy Cat,” said strips. “This is an amazing place!” “Well, you never know what lies ahead, strips. I wouldn't be surprised if the next stop is even better!” said Scaredy Cat. Migrating Canada Goose One of the seasonal residents of Crocodile Creek is the Canada goose. These feathery fowl are very particular about who they are - do not call them "Canadian" geese! Their annual arrival to the shores and waters of "Croc Creek" escapes no one as the constant honking and frequent traffic jams in the waterways are patiently endured for the sake of community.
While on Safari, you met strips.
Scaredy Cat shook paws with strips the Grey Playful Kitten.They both received one silver mole!

@ Roadside Camels Both Kacey and Scaredy Cat love the scenery at the next stop, and they both enjoy introducing themselves to their new friend, who has been waiting to meet them! Roadside Camels Due to the vast arid lands in which Crocodile Creek acts as an oasis, the residents of "Croc Creek" thought it best to guide many of the tourists and newly arriving residents through the hot sands with the help of camels. These guys can help weary travelers get off of their feet for a bit, as well as lighten their loads, thus making the final leg of their journeys easier and their arrivals more welcoming.
While on Safari, you met Kacey.
Scaredy Cat shook paws with Kacey the Mauve Koala.They both received one silver mole!
@ Floating Crocodile Scaredy Cat is enjoying the view when Ivory comes along. "Look! A special prize!" says Ivory. Scaredy Cat looks down and sees something valuable. Well Scaredy Cat WAS here first ... Floating Crocodile The crocodiles of Crocodile Creek, the pets who've lived in the area the longest, never intended for their waterway or the surrounding land to be named after them. They have always been content to just be calm and cool in the waters they enjoy so much. When other pets stumbled across the area and found the waters refreshing and the land inviting, the crocodiles realized they couldn't keep the area all to themselves and so have been welcoming new neighbors and curious travelers ever since.
While on Safari, you met Ivory.
Scaredy Cat shook paws with Ivory the Leopard gecko.They both received one silver mole!

Crocodile Creek x On this part of the quest, your pet will take a boat trip along a rambling river, each twist and turn revealing a variety of wildlife on the banks either side, or on the river itself. These creatures range from the exotic or endangered to familiar birds and animals you might see in your back garden or local countryside, but there are a few that some pets or humans might find a little scary—'ware the crocodile!
