Taiping Zoo (11) : African Savanna

I almost forgotten to continue my Taiping Zoo series.... It's time to continue on with the local Animal Planet Series (which is Free Of Charge) :P

Giraffe. This is the only giraffe left in the zoo at the moment. When I looked back at the photos taken 2 years ago, there were 3 giraffes. (The flamingo mengacau only.. obstructing the view.. Must piak with sotong).

I guess the giraffe can sustain neck fracture easily since they have long necks :P At first I thought giraffes will have more cervical vertebraes then human beings since their necks are so long, but I was wrong. Giraffes have exactly the same number of cervical vertebraes as human. It is just that their cerival vertebraes are extremely elongated.

Long-horned ankole cattle. I love to look at the horns, which is one of the largest and most dramatic horns. There is only one ankole cattle left at the moment. I remember there were four previously..

Zebra, which reminds me of zebra crossing :)

The three musketeers :)

to be continued...

    I guess the sotong leader is the giraffe loh.. hahahha. Oops, better retract back that statement.. The group leader is the giraffe. The sotong leader is busy looking for little sotongs to piak the kaka caucau flamingo :P

    carcar,
    TQ TQ my beloved sotong carcar. Oops, still cannot resist to talk about sotong. Sotong have to Relax today.. LOL

    Sotong can't be found is Zoo leh.. but it can definitely be found in seafood restaurant (ouch !!)

  8. day dreamer,

    lb,
    Sotong is now the hot topic & cannot blame them for being sotsot ;) Who starts the sotong craze? Wah.. If I have the sotong costume, u really volunteer to become exhibit ah?

    Your Zebra question very cheem again.. I guess people scares of the stripes on zebras body cos remind them of .... jail? :P

  9. I think I can safely point my finger at you, the Sotong of all sotongs.. All Hail Sotong Chen..

    Yeah, maybe you're right. Go straight to Jail one, can't pass Go, and no collect $200.. No wonder.

  10. lb,
    Err... I start the craze meh? I only remember wanting to piak someone with sotong earlier on ... and then somehow, the sotong king started the sotong thingy..(followed by the sotsot hits by Carcar).

    Yeahlah, that's why zebra is not as popular as horse cos of that :P

    Err.. I thought it's the other way round, cos they keep on crossing the road, hence called zebera crossing? Gosh, sotsot liao.. I'm talking sotong again..
