Kitty's Corner

The Copenhagen Zoo has an entire section of creepy crawly. Sometimes I'm lucky to get a few good shots of the little insect.

Look at this - it's an insect that survives by looking like a branch:


The poisonous frogs are so fascinating. I think it's amazing that some tribes have actually used the frogs' poison to make their arrowheads deadly when hitting the target!


Other little beetles had their breakfast.

Since one of my Zoo posts made it to the front page of My Opera, there's been a lot of requests for a butterfly post.

My Zoo holds a little Tropical Zoo as well, with an entire room for the exotic and beautiful butterflies. I love going there, especially in the summer. Why in the summer, you might ask yourself (or even me!) - that's because the temperature in the tropical zoo is high - it is a tropical zoo after all - and it's much more fun to go there in summers clothes and flip flops than in big parka coats and boots!

Anyway - here's what you've been waiting for... butterflies!


I had a butterfly like this on my lens... silly butterfly, I can't take picture on it when it's on my camera!

And one of these wanted to land in my hair!


I think this sort is the biggest sort in the zoo here. It has got a pretty large "body"!


Butterflies are so pretty. They're my favourite macro models!


And today's last picture:


I hope you enjoyed the tour! Now go have yourself a great weekend!

It feels as if it's been ages since I went to the Zoo. I do have a season ticket because I see the Zoo as an oasis in the middle of a big city.

So anyway - I needed a little break - so I grabbed my camera gear and my bicycle and went there.

Long time ago I promised Cois to take a photo or two of the wolves - and I forgot. Sorry wolfieboy, my bad. Here's to make it up to you:


The wolves were very active that morning. It was a cold, grey, but dry morning, the time of day where many of the animals are more active than during the day.

This wolfie even took a bath in the yucky green water:

While he was in the water, the others stood on the "shore", whimpering.

Then I passed the red pandas. They are so cute!


I promised Angeliki a picture of the elephants. There wasn't many of them out this early, but I caught an early bird. I hope you like it.


No visit to the Zoo without saying hi to the tigers! They had a baby tiger!


Unfortunately it wasn't out for long, because the male tiger was about to be fed. And I think they take the cub out when he eats in order not to risk any kinds of "accidents"...


I had planned to visit the tropical Zoo too, to take some photos of the butterflies, but honestly, I'd rather go home, so I did. I think I might take a short tour there next week.


I hope you enjoyed the tour to the Zoo just as much as I did.
