The wildebeest is a decent choice..., but, Anna, tell the truth ... you still want to brush the fluffy lion`s mane  , am I right ?

You gotta admit the mane is spectacular, right?

The Langurs are still of-show, but they are expected to be shown on public in around 40 days.

Chleby is the only other zoo in Europe, where you can see them. I saw one male in Cologne two years ago, but he died last year unfortunately.

That would be lovely :)

Thank you for sharing this beautiful langur! :)

Ohhh, what a sad news that the lonely male at Cologne died He lived with Javan langurs in the primate house. But is very good to know that new specimens are added to another zoo!

Kikimalou, there is one from a Japanese brand (I think Kaiyodo?) but is one touching a glass with the hand while a little girl put her hand in the other side. I think there is also another figure of this species, but sitting on a rock with paintings and a brush, and he's smiling if I remember well. So they're not "standar-type" figures. Anyway I did a homemade one.

The figures you are talking about are from the zoorasia series. The Douc is the painter, the one with the little girl is a Golden snub-nose monkey.
I love Kaiyodo but the Zoorasia series isn’t my cup of tea alas. Well except the Snowy owl and the Bali mynah of course

And now to please Ana,more hairy citizen and her ladies.

Actually I am glad you asked it, Christophe and my answer could be the same as Susanne. The truth is that I only remember seeing the second picture. I don’t know if I missed the first or if I thought it was Andreas. Oh, that is a perfect portrait, I love it too.

I love lions, I love tapirs .. and now I love all of your photos Kiki
And you make it harder and harder for Anna, to resist of the lion`s Fluffy manes
