Ever since getting kittens (now half kitten half cat half moondog, see previous posts!). Suddenly something happened to my world. Animals everywhere, since starting to take care of my felines, seemed to want to connect. This is just a few short months, since about March - of my animal encounters in Thailand. It's as if I joined some secret society. It's as if when I go out and about, my kitties have left encrypted scents on me that other animals can read but humans are oblivious too. It's like to other animals suddenly I have 'I love my 2 cats at home' emblazoned across my chest.
Am I becoming Dr. Doolittle?
Bluey Lou ... Afraid he's a blur, so small. Look closely, this thing is barely the size of my beard at the time. Not a relative of my own kitties, just a stray that had been birthed by a feral queen. This was a litter of one only, now in the care of a friend who adopted him. Thankfully, I nearly ended up with 3 cats because this little guy was just too cute.
Can't even take a walk on the beach without a bunch of mythical manimals coming out the waves to make a show just for me.
Ew, hey buddy, you're not really a good idea. Dustpan. Brush. Pin you down and send you back to the bush ... cheers.
Exactly. Bat when he was smaller.
This guy also. Don't want to get a pinky finger caught in those jaws.
Tiger Moth. Would never have known if not for the kittens that time just 10 weeks old, and were keeping a distance, just watching hadn't raised my attention to the guy, who retreated here to his home where I took these pictures.
This was a cool customer in the end. He posed for a few shots, and we met eye to eye.
Eye to Eye! Nice to meet you buddy.
Another morning taking some exercise on the beach, encountered this jelly washed up. Pretty big. These locals noticed me looking at this crazy blob, and rushed over, seemed quite enthusiastic about it. Perhaps they turned it into a salad. Fine if you know what you are doing.
This Iguana I didn't get to meet, only taste. What a hot food. Really heaty and not just the spice. Quite a unique texture. I wouldn't have dared without a few beers beforehand.
Not food. A puppy Rottweiler. Cute whilst this small I am sure. NO further comment on level of responsibility I do hope the owner still takes of what will by now be a 1 year old Rottweiler. I don't like dawgs all that much.
Apart from these Dog-Cats. They're awsome. Woof. Wookies.
Who knows how, one afternoon finding ourselves in this backyard 'pet store'. Loads of turtles, and a big daddy.
A little goat, enjoying company whilst having a coffee at a local establishment. Why not?
Mythical creatures appear
Big Daddy turtle, daddy of the above turtles and more.
Wonderful markings on this guy, who came for a very daring sprint across the residence the other day.
Stopping by only for a quick pose, and gone. What a lovely lizard!
Now in another location, this is one of the strangest mechanical animal mating rituals I ever experienced. This is some backwash hickville shit.
What's that? Oh, just a harmless whip scorpion. HARMLESS? ? ? Nah. It's ugly as sin and frightening. Got rid of it by pinning it again in the pan and brush, launched 300meters away far far away from the hoestead.
Thanks for checking out these crazy animals. I don't know where they keep coming from. Stay posted for part 2, there's at least another 39 or so I didn't introduce yet. For the record, all of them are found in the wild, I'm not keeping them as pets in some crazy zoo - just in case that isn't clear.
Animals are awesome.
