Als ich noch in der Karibik gelebt habe konnte ich davon 1000 sehen .. die sind sogar durch den Pool geschwommen :)

Oh wow. Lol, das Foto habe ich im Regenwaldhaus im Krefelder Zoo gemacht. Da darf er frei herum laufen. Als er dann aber so ca. 50cm vor mir saß so ganz ohne Gitter oder Glas zwischen uns, war das dann doch etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig. Die sind ja nicht gerade klein.
Jun 10th, 2011 ReplyJurgenDoe
Muss mal in die Karibik fliegen .. da laufen die all frei rum :)
Jun 10th, 2011 Reply Shadowness Staffvelvet-paw
Wenn jemanden finde, der mir das bezahlt gerne. lol
Jun 10th, 2011 ReplyJurgenDoe
Ach komm .. muss sparen und selber bezahlen ;)
Jun 10th, 2011 Reply Shadowness Staffvelvet-paw
lol irgendwie geht mein ganzes Geld immer für meine Fotoausrüstung drauf.
Jun 10th, 2011 ReplyJurgenDoe
Na das kann ich mir gut vorstellen :) Warum auch ned .. ist besser als rausgeschmissenes Urlaubsgeld :)
Jun 10th, 2011 Reply Shadowness Staffvelvet-paw
Hehe irgendwie schon. Aber es wäre auch cool mal irgendwo hinzufahren wo man richtige Wildlife Bilder manchen kann.
Jun 12th, 2011 ReplyJurgenDoe
Das gibts doch in Europa auch so einen Wldlifepark ..
Jun 12th, 2011 Reply Shadowness StaffHiidenportti National Park, Finland
Bordering with Russia, Finland's Hiidenportti National Park is Europe's last true wilderness. The park is known for its long, narrow, steep-sided gorge and its ancient forests dating back to the last ice age. With almost 30km of marked trails, Hiidenportti offers great opportunities to spot Bears, Wolves and Lynx. Book hostels in Joensuu for Hiidenportti National Park.

Das klingt klasse. In Schweden gibt es auch einen klasse Bärenpark in den ich irgendwann mal hin möchte.
Jun 12th, 2011 ReplyJurgenDoe
Ich spreche ja ned von Bären sondern von Wildlife :)
Jun 12th, 2011 Reply Shadowness Staffvelvet-paw
Freilaufende Bären zählen für mich schon zu Wildlife ;)
Jun 12th, 2011 ReplyJurgenDoe

Thank you Meng. I got pretty close to it without any bars or glass. I have to admit it was a bit scary lol.
Jun 9th, 2011 Reply7Shadows

Jun 9th, 2011 Replyvelvet-paw
Luckily not but not really that much smaller.
Jun 9th, 2011 Reply7Shadows
