@ Wild Horse of Chincoteague
Ande begins her journey to encounter Exotic pets!
Wild Horse of Chincoteague
The wild horses of Chincoteague still run wild in a National Park, where they swim from island to island, and roam where they want! If you camp with them, be prepared to share your picnic basket, Yogi has nothing on them when it comes to stealing your treats!

@ Giant Anteater Walking

Purple Flower Power Egg
My pets are in awe of these beautiful eggs—they would love to try to paint their own one year. Easter and spring are times of joy as the earth awakens, plants are pushing forth from the soil, and the days are becoming warmer. Many baby animals are born in the spring, and life is burgeoning. May these eggs bring you joy and be a reminder of the earth renewing itself.

Giant Anteater Walking
If I played basketball, I would be a first draft pick! My amazing height, er, length would give me superior dribbling and blocking skills, but here I am, living my dream instead, searching the plains for anthills!

@ Black Cat Pouncing
Ande and Professor 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!
Black Cat Pouncing
You cannot see me, I am the night! A black void of fluffy hair and a slow wiggle, waiting for my prey! A quick pounce and that feather duster is MINE! pixabay694730

@ Capuchin Monkey
Ande and Mystic had shaken paws and were now introducing themselves to the next critter who had come to meet them on this leg of the quest, who was eager to make friends and to show off a carefully tidied natural habitat!
Capuchin Monkey
Some of my relatives have some pretty big roles on the silver screen, we're cute! We're tiny! And full of antics and comedial relief!

@ Stallion at Sunset
"I think there'll be quite a few tired paws, wings and flippers when we get back to the tour bus," said Abel, after he and Ande had spent some time exploring another rural pathway to its end and meeting nearby inhabitants.
"Is there a gift shop at the end?" enquired Ande. "The thought of that generally keeps me going."
Stallion at Sunset
Racing the wind along the shoreline, rearing up in victory! The setting sun showcasing my fit form!

@ Lion Tailed Macque
Ande and Mittens had shaken paws and then took some time to enjoy looking at the next creature in its habitat in a companionable silence!
Lion Tailed Macque
If you ever come visit South India, you'll find me here, hanging out with family and friends! I know my facial expressions can be off putting, but I really am pretty friendly!

When you're out paddling in your kayak, don't be surprised to find me perched on your bow.

@ Echidna Foraging
Ande was excited to meet up again with Midnight love. They both took a moment to admire the amazing scene around them.
Echidna Foraging
If you can't spell Echidna, you can just type in spiny anteater! Because they are my favorite dinner! AND what makes me special, I am a mammal that lays eggs! Those platypus' get all the limelight!

@ Yellow Bellied Sea Snake
“How do you do?” said Ande to their amazing and friendly new acquaintance on their mini-safari, shaking paws.
Mini chipped in. “It’s so kind of you to allow us to visit you in your habitat. Ande and I—and all the rest of us, of course!—are enjoying our mini-safari very much indeed!”
Yellow Bellied Sea Snake
If you're an unwary fishy swimming along, I'll glide over you with my camoflauged belly, and birds of prey can't find me from the air, I'm the color of the sea from the top!

@ Common Lizard
“Shall we take a selfie?” Ande asked Shadow as they drank in the scenery and admired their new friend standing between them.
Common Lizard
Common? Common? Are you kidding me? There's nothing common about me. Why, I'm brown and handsome, my mother told me so!

@ Cicada
“Do you remember our last safari, Lunaray?” exclaimed Ande. "I remember being really quite scared, trying to find the way out of that labyrinth in the dark!"
Lunaray agreed. “D'you remember that scorpion? It was quite a shock coming across him in the light of the dim and flaring lamps, although he turned out to be very nice in the end.”
"It's hard to believe that was two years ago, Lunaray," remarked Ande.
Cicada
Well, not just an ordinary cicada, I'm a Canthgaster Cicada! Look at me with my nose in the air, why, some might think I'm a bit stuffy! But honestly, I'm just following my nose to the best eating spots!

Image 12/29

@ Cicadas
Ande was very happy to meet T.C. here! They both swapped tales of their experiences of their travels so far!
Cicadas
Well, finding food is easier in pairs, meet my BFF Amy!

@ Golden Pheasant
"I think there'll be quite a few tired paws, wings and flippers when we get back to the tour bus," said Silk, after she and Ande had spent some time exploring another rural pathway to its end and meeting nearby inhabitants.
"Is there a gift shop at the end?" enquired Ande. "The thought of that generally keeps me going."
Golden Pheasant
My brilliant plumage has also earned me the nickname of Rainbow Pheasant, and my gorgeous array of feathers originally hailed from China, but you'll find that we were a desired export, and have adapted well to other places!

@ Hummingbird
Ande and Teeka 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 Ande. “Let’s change sides.”
“No,” said Teeka. “Being on the right shows my best side.”
Hummingbird
When planning your garden, please be sure to add some brightly colored reds and purples, with sweet nectars! My favorite to bury my beak in and sip of the yummy-ness within!

Oh look ... you won a pet!

@ Galapagos Iguana
“I'm starving!” exclaimed Ande. "What's Chef making us tonight?"
Flatts glanced up from his tour guide, in which he had been looking up where they were going the next day. “How come you're so hungry, Ande?”
Ande pouted. "I was just unwrapping my lunch pack when a creature ran down the tree behind me, grabbed the lot and shot back up the tree!"
"Bad luck!" sympathised Flatts. "Here, have a banana to keep you going."

Galapagos Iguana
Iguana, I wanna! I wanna iguana go with you to explore the wilds!

@ Cotton Topped Tamarin Monkey
"It's turned a bit hot, Ande. I'm going to put my sunhat on," said Arthur.
"Good scheme! I'll dig mine out as well," said Ande.
Cotton Topped Tamarin Monkey
Cotton Top is a great name for me, it looks like a lovely ball of fluff, and when the breeze blows gently through it, I look like Fabio on the cover of a paperback book!

@ Flamingoes in the Fog
“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 Ande to Sir Barkey Barksalot. “It’ll be a fab souvenir of our time here!”
Flamingoes in the Fog
Wading out in the cool river early in the morning, the mists giving way to pale rose sunlight, matching our plumage, it's going to be a great day!

@ Hooded Cobra
“Oh hello, Ande!” cried Eton. “Didn’t we bump into each other in Turkey back in the spring? This is quite the change of scene, isn't it!”
"It certainly is!" declared Ande.
Hooded Cobra
Even a simple photo of me causes hearts to speed up and fear to seep out your pores, heh! Heh! Heh! Fear me!

@ Yellow Butterfly
“If there's time at the end of the day when we get back to our accommodation, I might do some initial sketches for a charcoal picture of one of our new friends," matty said, offering Ande a toffee from the bag and then unwrapping one for herself.
“That sounds like a good plan, matty!" said Ande. "Very relaxing, and your portrait will be a great souvenir of our visit to all these interesting creatures!"
Yellow Butterfly
Perching precariously on thistle, we don't mind if it's a little prickly! The delicious nectars are some of our favorite, making summer the best season of the four!

@ Bumble Bee
“Shall we take a selfie?” Ande asked Bindy as they drank in the scenery and admired their new friend standing between them.
Bumble Bee
Call me Queen Supreme Ruler please. So much of your food and world depends on me being, well, busy as a bee! Please don't swat me, or spray me, I just want to gather pollen and help fruit trees multiply output and so much more!

@ Common Garden Snail
Foxie was distracted by the sounds of loud rustling as Ande unfolded a very large tourist map, in the course of which she succeeded in knocking Foxie’s sunhat off.
“Put that away, do!” said Foxie, in some irritation. “We’re about to pose with this amazing creature—the picture will be of your map if you don’t fold it up pronto!”
Common Garden Snail
Nocturnal by nature, you'll find me hiding by day in the dark leafy greens in your garden. We tried to ramp up our street cred by saying we were vampires, but we lacked the fangs to back up the claim.

@ Brazilian Anteater
“It's so cool to have a species name in Latin as well as English, Ande!” said Talitha, studying the detail in the tour guide. "What would we each called in Latin?"
"I don't know," said Ande. "We'll look it up when we get back to the hotel tonight!"
Brazilian Anteater
Somewhere there's a blue anteater hanging around with a pink panther, but that's now who I am, although, I really do love ants! You'll find me in the rainforest, slurping up ants like a pro!

@ Green Snake
Ande and Winston agreed that the variety of environments on their expedition was the best ever! Ande and Winston exchanged opinions on which their favourite terrain had been so far, and which was the most interesting creature they had met in their travels!
Green Snake
Slithering silently, and native to North America, I'm hard to find in the greens of summer!

@ Costa Rican Moth
“If there's time at the end of the day when we get back to our accommodation, I might do some initial sketches for a charcoal picture of one of our new friends," Sir Barkey Barksalot said, offering Ande a toffee from the bag and then unwrapping one for himself.
“That sounds like a good plan, Sir Barkey Barksalot!" said Ande. "Very relaxing, and your portrait will be a great souvenir of our visit to all these interesting creatures!"
Costa Rican Moth
Yeah, yeah I know! "It's so cute!" I hear it all the time! I was really going for fierce and scare the birds, but in a twist of fate, I make them laugh.

@ Yellow Mongoose
"I think there'll be quite a few tired paws, wings and flippers when we get back to the tour bus," said Kitty Boo, after she and Ande had spent some time exploring another rural pathway to its end and meeting nearby inhabitants.
"Is there a gift shop at the end?" enquired Ande. "The thought of that generally keeps me going."
Yellow Mongoose
Golden fur covers me, hence my name! I live mainly in Africa munching on small critters in the night, and my Mongoose family have a fierce reputation for winning battles with Cobras, but we avoid it when we can! pixabay 1287396

@ Fire Salamander
"It's turned a bit hot, Ande. I'm going to put my sunhat on," said Choose a name.
"Good scheme! I'll dig mine out as well," said Ande.
Fire Salamander
Fire Salamander! Yeah, because you can see my hotness shimmer through and decorate my skin...

@ Little Lizard
“Whatever were those screaming noises you were making earlier, schrute?" exclaimed Ande.
schrute looked embarrassed. "That wasn't screaming. That was me, er, singing, to enable the safari guide to find me when I couldn't find my way out of that cave!"
Little Lizard
She may be small, but she is mighty!

@ Cobra Strike
Ande has now met enough "Exotic" pets to last a lifetime. As she exits the experience, she receives a wonderful gift!
Valley Between the Hills
The hidden valley between these hills is a popular locale for the smaller pets of PnF. Housing a city most pets overlook, the tiny prints of pets have made history with the largest tiny museum, art gallery, and comedy club in existence.

Cobra Strike
Rearing up and giving a final warning that I am not someone to be trifled with. Walk away, slowly and quietly...
Ande has enjoyed meeting "Exotic" pets, but it is time to go home now! Please select another pet as visitor, so it can also meet pets of every shape and size!
