Dear friends! I don't know how many zoo reports I have published during the last four years but they are many!! I have often wondered how a report from the other side of the fence would look like - maybe something like this:

Crissi - What a funny picture of the GG! Sorry to hear there was thunder again. Can't you send it here - a little thunder would make it a little cooler....

Dumba - Dear Wizard of Links, thank you for your help. Now I saw the cute little elephant and .... well, aaawh and oooowh .....

DUMBA -- Oh no--I was just afraid you thought I had not responded to your requests to get Gandy's reaction to Alfred!! As for Alfred--what I should have said is that he is very thorough about cleaning and sorting all his thousands of feathers. It is amazing to me that birds are able to take care of so many feathers every day. As for Mac--you are right (you have sharp eyes)--I did not see the white on the right side of the paws! Anyway he is a little charmer! By the way, I really like The Platters :-))

A quick Hello to everybody around :D

Sarsam - the little elephant is soooo cute - it's nice to see that she/he enjoys the mud bath :D

Dumba - die Bilder der Grizzlys sind traumhaft.

Ralph - I like the pink bear - the Hansa bear looks very fluffy

MERVI and ALL/e
In order to being able to see the sweet Indianapolis elephant cup,
there was only need to add a single little "l" in the end of SARSAM's (thank you so much again!) link.

Following is the short link:

Sarsam - Let's hope Four Paws - VierPfoten - can help the poor bears! - The elephant video wasn't available when I tried to watch it but I'll try again later....

Dumba - The grizzly video is fantastic! Thanks once again for the research!

Caren - When I saw Monika's photos I just had to make a lead of them. I agree that the last photo is very funny - and the first one truly artistic! The three ladies really talk to us don't they?

I am not the great pretender, rather an oversized forgetter and overseeer ;-)

Had to go back now some pages to find your and GANDY?s contribution, 8 to be precise, 02:37 PM on August 01, 2011.
Thanks and big KNUTi-style hug to the both of you and to everybody else AROUND

BTW: Did you see in the photos of ?MAC the FOX? that not only the end of his tail is white but also his right hand side paws! Cute!

Had to look up ?meticulous preener? but unfortunately did only find ?meticulous? (pedantisch, peinlich genau). Boggle means ?erschrecken?. We use to say ?seine Visitenkarte hinterlassen? for the same thing you call ?calling cards?. ALFRED?s human friend told that this is exactly the reason, why the keepers are not so please that he made tight friend with him and uses to be beside him on the bench. // Golden rods are really beautiful, even though they are rather common plants! // Thank you for your kind comments. I always appreciate them a lot, really I do.

Indianapolis Zoo elephant cub is happy and healthy and sooooooo cuuuuute

Hoffentlich schnurren die Singers gleich ganz hinreissend.

Mervi - thank you so much for the new and beautiful coverpicture in KWM :D The new lead is also very entertaining, good laugh guaranteed :D

Dumba - "Stets zu Ihren Diensten" :D You know that La Donna can be a wild bumble bee.
The grizzlies are wonderful, the whole performance is very nice. Thank you so much.

Sarsam - thank you for the mail; I am glad that action is taken!
of course, I did not mean that Yoghi is a coward (although he is sometimes very careful) ....
I must try again to follow the elephants' link ... Thanks in advance.

DUMBA -- Great video of the grizzlies! Thank you! You did see my answer about Alfred, right?

CAREN -- Good, I'm glad you agree about the description of Yoghi--he may be a cuddly and gentle teddy bear, but he is no cowering coward :-)))) (Would not want to hurt his feelings....)

Einen schoenen FeierAbend Euch ALLEn

Was Nettes zum Entspannen und Amuesieren:

Nice narrative by a Grizzly bears photographer, decorated with a few great photos.

Love the two little ones and the last picture with the waving bear in the water :-)
and all the others as well.

Good Afternoon,
Here comes another of ralph's purchases, he sent me the pic this afternoon.

ralph- you must have a castle for all your bears. :D

Sarsam - ah, I think "hide and stalk" may have described the situation better, this was most funny. The bears and the working crew had a lot of fun together.

Dumba - the black spots may have come from some little friendly fights with Frl. Giovanna. I do not think that it is a rezidiv from the little injury he had in Tierpark Berlin.

Mervi - these names would probably be too obvious :D

Greetings!

LONE -- Happy Birthday!

TBM -- Wishing you more days of power: inner power and electrical power! Sending hugs....

RALPH -- The Hansa and Duncan bears are great! The Hansa bear is so lifelike.....

CAREN and MERVI -- I contacted Four Paws too--as you say, more people showing an interest is good.

CAREN -- Yoghi "cowering"??? -- I beg your pardon, but Yoghi does not "cower"--hide and stalk yes, cower no :-)))))))

Now to KWM and the Golden Girls...

Paw waves to all..........Semper Knut!

Ralph - I knew you would find new bears to your collection. 'Nicky' really is something even I would like to have but I guess I have to wait until I've bought a castle ...... :D The pinkie is simply adorable!

Dumba - What a lovely T-shirt!!
