@ Foxy Fox
“I’ve written a postcard to my aunty to tell her about our amazing safari!” said holly. “She’ll wish she was here! Where’s the nearest postbox?” Schnupfen shielded her eyes and rotated 360°, elaborately scanning the horizon. “I don’t think they’ve thought to provide a postbox here, holly. How remiss of them!” Seeing holly’s ears beginning to droop, Schnupfen added, “Don’t worry, you can post your card after this leg of the safari.”
Foxy Fox
Who you looking at? You looking at me? Well let me strike a pose for you.

Snow Goose Station
Snowy white with a splash of orange for a beak and legs these geese can truly sneak up on you on a winter day. At least they do not have quite the same reputation as their Canadian counterparts *wink wink*

@ Chickadee dee dee dee Central
holly was excited to meet up again with Sea Breeze. They both took a moment to admire the amazing scene around them.

Oh that sun feels so good! I think I will just park myself right here and rest. Care to join me?

How remiss of them!” Seeing holly’s ears beginning to droop, Heidi added, “Don’t worry, you can post your card after this leg of the safari.”

In the peaceful morning you can barely see their outline in the mists coming over the lake. Listen carefully and you can hear their calls to one another as they gracefully glide across the water.

“I could stay here forever, holly,” said slider. “This is an amazing place!” “Well, you never know what lies ahead, slider. I wouldn't be surprised if the next stop is even better!” said holly.

The penguins of the northern hemisphere! Ok, not quite but adorable nonetheless. These critters can even be found roaming through town when they are not on the hillsides.

“Ooh, that’s a scary looking creature!” whispered Eric. “It’s bigger than me! I’ll stay here and wait for you to come back.” “C’mon, Eric, it’ll be fine—it’s not so very big; it's a trick of perspective, and anyway, it’s looking forward to meeting us!” said holly.
Humboldt Haven
Plug your nose! Things are about to get a little smelly around here. Where there are this many penguins there is sure to be a lot of guano! But with such cuties running around it is easy to ignore.

Encounter 16/36

@ Sea Lion Beach
Hershel was distracted by the sounds of loud rustling as holly unfolded a very large tourist map, in the course of which she succeeded in knocking Hershel’s hat off. “Put that away, do!” snapped Hershel. “We’re about to pose with this amazing creature—the picture will be of your map if you don’t fold it up pronto!”
Sea Lion Beach
This lil fella appears grumpy as he is often mistaken for a seal. He really would like to wear a sign saying I am not a seal but has thus far resisted. So please be kind when entering the beach here and do not upset the natives. They are quite friendly.

Gentoo Rock
Hold onto your rocks! These penguins are notorious rock thieves. They sneak up on one another’s nests and steal pebbles to better their own nest. It appears these two penguins may be conspiring together. So hold onto your goods.

Encounter 24/36

@ Clownfish Cove
holly opened her rucksack to change her hat. Schnupfen could see holly had a large, floppy sunhat, a balaclava, a rain hat, a woolly bobble hat, a beanie, a deerstalker hat and a swimming cap! “Did you bring a fez too?” Schnupfen asked holly.

Under the sea you can find these colourful clowns swimming around looking for friends. Will you be their friend?

@ Stingray Fever
“Ooh, that’s a scary looking creature!” whispered moo moo. “It’s bigger than me! I’ll stay here and wait for you to come back.” “C’mon, moo moo, it’ll be fine—it’s not so very big; it's a trick of perspective, and anyway, it’s looking forward to meeting us!” said holly.
Stingray Fever
Swimming deep underwater swirling around one another one may find the fevers of stingrays. Yes we said fevers since that technically is a group of stingrays.

Encounter 26/36

@ Neon Jelly Jiggle
"Wasn’t it worth coming all this way, holly," said Saphira, "for this experience alone?" holly, admiring the creature at the centre of the scene they were now in, heartily agreed!
Neon Jelly Jiggle
You may wish to be cautious in these waters teaming with jellyfish. Swimming may not be the smartest of activities but observing through the glass bottom boat while munching PB&J sandwiches is totally fair game.

Encounter 27/36

@ Ruby Betta Fish Ball
While holly paused to drink in the view, Velveteen started scrabbling in her rucksack for her portable, foldable camping chair. “What are you doing with that, Velveteen?” asked holly. “We’ll need to get going in a minute or we’ll be left behind!”
Ruby Betta Fish Ball
With the grace of a ballerina and the precision of a swordsman the betta fish darts and swims around with skilled choreography. Its fins follow it like an elegant ball gown circling a dancer darting here and there. A thrill to observe.

Encounter 28/36

@ Octopus Ridge
holly was very happy to meet Darby here! They both swapped tales of their experiences of their travels so far!
Octopus Ridge
At the very depths of the ocean you have now reached Octopus Ridge. While it may appear a little scary at first we promise you will find things to be quite welcoming here. You never know what you will discover at great ocean depths.

Encounter 29/36

@ Shark Tides
holly and Dorlinger had shaken paws and were now introducing themselves to the next critter who had come to meet them on this leg of the quest, who was eager to make friends and to show off a carefully tidied natural habitat!
Shark Tides
It is ok. You can breathe. We just recommend staying in the middle of our shark cage here while we are at depth. Going close to the edge near the bars may be a little risky and ill advised. But isn’t that shark ever so graceful swimming around and stalking us?

Encounter 30/36

@ Turtle Tropics
holly and Draco agreed that the variety of environments on their expedition was the best ever! holly and Draco exchanged opinions on which their favourite terrain had been so far, and which was the most interesting creature they had met in their travels!
Turtle Tropics
Swimming and lazing around in the tropical waters one may be lucky to catch sight of these beauties floating by. Amidst the corals their colours almost glow as if illuminated by black light. Certainly a rare treat for anyone to see.

Encounter 31/36

@ Humpback Whale Haven
“I’ve written a postcard to my aunty to tell her about our amazing safari!” said holly. “She’ll wish she was here! Where’s the nearest postbox?” Guaca shielded his eyes and rotated 360°, elaborately scanning the horizon. “I don’t think they’ve thought to provide a postbox here, holly. How remiss of them!” Seeing holly’s ears beginning to droop, Guaca added, “Don’t worry, you can post your card after this leg of the safari.”
Humpback Whale Haven
Snap on your scuba gear and go for a swim among these gentle giants. They are more likely that other whales to breech so do take care when in the water. If you aren’t so brave perhaps a Zodiac tour is more your speed.

Encounter 32/36

“Let’s pose with one of us each side of our new friend and I’ll set the self-timer to take a group shot,” said holly to Kikianna. “It’ll be a fab souvenir of our time here!”

Tang Cove
No this is not the tang you may have drank as a child. We mean this fish variety. The sort that swim you know? Granted the drink does swim in your stomach. Although we do think the fish are prettier and more interesting to observe and we hope you agree.

Encounter 34/36

@ Tail Fin Waves
holly and miniyao were entranced at reaching this stopping place and eagerly posed for a picture standing on either side of the attractive creature they had just met!
Tail Fin Waves
Out on a Zodiac boat you are in for a treat- whales swimming around, showing themselves and even waving hello to you. If you are lucky maybe one will breech.

Encounter 35/36

@ Dancing Dolphin Disco
holly is enjoying the view when Midnight comes along. "Look! A special prize!" says Midnight. holly looks down and sees something valuable. Well holly WAS here first ...
Dancing Dolphin Disco
Swimming around you would never know it but dolphins truly know how to party. They are also stuck in the disco era of the 1970’s so we hope you are prepared.

Encounter 36/36

@ Snow Beach x
holly has had a wonderful day, and has met lots of animals for the very first time, but now it is time for holly to go back to your page and relax.
Snow Beach x
Your pet will need to wrap up warmly and perhaps don snowshoes for this part of the quest! The journey starts in beautiful snowy scenes where some quite rare animals and birds are waiting to welcome your pet to their wintry world. The quest continues to cliffs, then rocky and sandy seashores and culminates in your pet sailing on the sea to view the watery world and its inhabitants! The octopus has promised to put in an appearance, and the shark has been practising his fiercest, most glary expression, but that’s to conceal his heart of gold and cuddly disposition! Bon voyage!
holly has completed the quest! Please select another pet as visitor, so it can take part in the Summer Safari!
