@ Wild Horse of Chincoteague
Barnaby Nicabar begins his 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

Blue And Gold Egg
The first painted eggs came from Mesopotamia, and because eggs were forbidden food during Lent, people painted eggs while Lent was being observed—after Lent, they would eat the eggs on Easter Day.

Beautifully decorated eggs “pysanka” are associated with Ukraine, and the oldest painted egg that was unearthed in northern Ukraine is dated to the end of the 17th century.

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
Barnaby Nicabar and Snowball 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!

@ Capuchin Monkey
Darby studied the itinerary thoughtfully for some time. “There's a lion-tailed macaque and a lion-headed goldfish,” she remarked. “Do you think there's a lion-tummied creature that we'll meet?”
Barnaby Nicabar snorted. "That's you, judging by how you're packing away that popcorn, Darby!"
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
Flipper studied the itinerary thoughtfully for some time. “There's a lion-tailed macaque and a lion-headed goldfish,” he remarked. “Do you think there's a lion-tummied creature that we'll meet?”
Barnaby Nicabar snorted. "That's you, judging by how you're packing away that popcorn, Flipper!"
Stallion at Sunset
Racing the wind along the shoreline, rearing up in victory! The setting sun showcasing my fit form!

@ Lion Tailed Macque
Aki groaned, clutching his stomach. "Oh, my poor tum. Why are so many of these places only accessible by boat? I've never been a good sailor, you know."
"Never mind, Aki," sympathised Barnaby Nicabar. "It's ages till we set off back, and with lots of walking around visiting the different creatures, you'll feel as right as rain in no time!"
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!

@ Dragonfly Perching
Barnaby Nicabar was very happy to meet Karak here! They both swapped tales of their experiences of their travels so far!
Dragonfly Perching
When you're out paddling in your kayak, don't be surprised to find me perched on your bow.

@ Echidna Foraging
"It's turned a bit hot, Barnaby Nicabar. I'm going to put my sunhat on," said botticelli.
"Good scheme! I'll dig mine out as well," said Barnaby Nicabar.
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
“What an amazing creature!” exclaimed Barnaby Nicabar. Ozzie agreed with Barnaby Nicabar. “I’m seeing so many animals, birds and insects that I’ve never seen before!”
Yellow Bellied Sea Snake
If you're an unwary fishy swimming along, I'll glide over you with my camouflaged belly, and birds of prey can't find me from the air, I'm the color of the sea from the top!

@ Common Lizard
Barnaby Nicabar and Silver 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!
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!

Image 11/29

@ Cicada
“Great to see you again, Bubblegum!” cried Barnaby Nicabar. “I don't think we've met since we bumped into each other in Canada this time last year. This is quite a different excursion, isn't it?”
"It is, indeed!" declared Bubblegum.
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
Barnaby Nicabar was very happy to meet Teeka 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!

Image 13/29

@ Golden Pheasant
"Wasn’t it worth coming all this way, Barnaby Nicabar," said Wisp, "for this experience alone?" Barnaby Nicabar, admiring the creature at the centre of the scene they were now in, heartily agreed!
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
Barnaby Nicabar and Choose a name 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 Barnaby Nicabar. “Let’s change sides.”
“No,” said Choose a name. “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!

@ Garden Snail with Hawthorn Berries
Oh look ... you won a pet!
Garden Snail with Hawthorn Berries
Ooh, look at me, I'm all decked out and ready for the red carpet!

@ Galapagos Iguana
Choose a name was distracted by the sounds of loud rustling as Barnaby Nicabar unfolded a very large tourist map, in the course of which he succeeded in knocking Choose a name’s sunhat off.
“Put that away, do!” said Choose a name, 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!”
Galapagos Iguana
Iguana, I wanna! I wanna iguana go with you to explore the wilds!

@ Cotton Topped Tamarin Monkey
“Ooh, it's just starting to get a bit cool, Barnaby Nicabar!” said Vinny the collector. “Can you hold my map and itinerary while I dig out my scarf?"
Barnaby Nicabar good-naturedly took charge of Vinny the collector's possessions while he emptied his rucksack of a pack of sandwiches wrapped in greaseproof paper, a Thermos flask, a pair of galoshes, a bag of chocolate peanuts, a paperback thriller, a bottle of orange squash, an address book, some postage stamps, an assortment of different coloured biros, a bottle opener, a couple of old bus tickets, a handful of golden and silver moles, a door key, some very old receipts, a screwdriver, a bottle of multivitamins, a lottery ticket and a selection of rather battered sachets of salt, sugar and salad cream before locating the scarf right at the bottom. This he donned and then Barnaby Nicabar helped him put everything back in his rucksack.
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
“You never know what sort of critter to expect next, do you, Ziggy?" whispered Barnaby Nicabar. “You know, small, cute and furry or really quite, um, large, with—er—very sharp teeth.” Ziggy reassured Barnaby Nicabar that all the critters were looking forward to meeting them, regardless of size, furriness, attractiveness and/or pointiness of teeth.
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
“I'm starving!” exclaimed Barnaby Nicabar. "What's Chef making us tonight?"
Splat 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, Barnaby Nicabar?”
Barnaby Nicabar 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 Splat. "Here, have a banana to keep you going."

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
Dreamy was distracted by the sounds of loud rustling as Barnaby Nicabar unfolded a very large tourist map, in the course of which he succeeded in knocking Dreamy’s sunhat off.
“Put that away, do!” said Dreamy, 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!”
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!

Image 21/29

@ Bumble Bee
Fresco de la Reye was sprawled flat on the grass after a good lunch. “What do you reckon is the tiniest creature we've met so far, Barnaby Nicabar?” he queried sleepily.
Barnaby Nicabar pondered. “Perhaps that gerbil?”
"Mmm. Or would it be the hummingbird, maybe?"
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
Barnaby Nicabar and Sweetie 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 Barnaby Nicabar. “Let’s change sides.”
“No,” said Sweetie. “Being on the right shows my best side.”
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.

Image 23/29

@ Brazilian Anteater
"Hey there, Barnaby Nicabar! Did you hear how Fresco fell off the landing stage into the sea while trying to get a better view of one of the creatures?"
"He was still squelching when he got back on the tour bus, Charbon!"
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
“I'm starving!” exclaimed Barnaby Nicabar. "What's Chef making us tonight?"
Sir Precious McPrance 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, Barnaby Nicabar?”
Barnaby Nicabar 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 Sir Precious McPrance. "Here, have a banana to keep you going."

Green Snake
Slithering silently, and native to North America, I'm hard to find in the greens of summer!

@ Costa Rican Moth
Choose a name groaned, clutching her stomach. "Oh, my poor tum. Why are so many of these places only accessible by boat? I've never been a good sailor, you know."
"Never mind, Choose a name," sympathised Barnaby Nicabar. "It's ages till we set off back, and with lots of walking around visiting the different creatures, you'll feel as right as rain in no time!"
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.

Image 26/29

@ Yellow Mongoose
Barnaby Nicabar was excited to meet up again with Snowball. They both took a moment to admire the amazing scene around them.
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!

Image 27/29

@ Fire Salamander
Barnaby Nicabar was very happy to meet Dahlia here! They both swapped tales of their experiences of their travels so far!
Fire Salamander
Fire Salamander! Yeah, because you can see my hotness shimmer through and decorate my skin...

Image 28/29

@ Little Lizard
“Ooh, that’s a scary looking creature!” whispered Hearts. “It’s bigger than me! I’ll stay here and wait for you to come back.”
“C’mon, Hearts, 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 Barnaby Nicabar.
Little Lizard
She may be small, but she is mighty!

@ Cobra Strike
Barnaby Nicabar has now met enough "Exotic" pets to last a lifetime. As he exits the experience, he 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...
Barnaby Nicabar has enjoyed meeting "Exotic" pets, but it is time to go home now! All Creatures Great and Small is over now, but there will be more events in PnF soon!
