@ Welcoming Guinea Pig Trio Red Scarlet has been looking forward to meeting the huge variety of other animals on this Summer Safari. What a treat to find Persephone, Goddess of Spring here, too! Welcoming Guinea Pig Trio We don't come from Guinea but from the Andes in South America. We are not related to pigs at all. We quite like humans but we must have our own kind for company. Like humans, we cannot store Vitamin C in our bodies and must have a daily supply. We communicate with a "wheeking" noise and have developed a high-pitched squeaking noise that we only use to communicate with humans, not each other.

@ Cottontail Warren Red Scarlet and Summer!! 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! Cottontail Warren It's hard to sneak up on rabbits! Their vision covers nearly 360°, which allows them to see what's coming from behind them, above and from the sides without turning their heads. Rabbits can rotate their ears 270°, allowing them to detect any threats that might be approaching from close to 2 miles away. The oversized ears also have the added benefit of cooling rabbits down on a hot day.

@ Silky Tabby Cat Corner Red Scarlet opened her rucksack to change her hat. Nanuk could see Red Scarlet 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?” Nanuk asked Red Scarlet. Silky Tabby Cat Corner Tabby cats were named after a striped silk made in Baghdad. The cats were compared to the silk, giving them the name “tabby.” The silk comes from the Attabiy district in Baghdad and the 14th century Middle French term for it was “atabis,” that soon turned to “tabis.” This, of course, translated into our English word, “tabby.”
