Encounter 2/36

When they aren’t busy pulling a sleigh you can find these reindeer trudging through heavy snows of the Arctic regions.

Encounter 4/36

Perched high in the branches of the tree this lil fella can bring a splash of colour to even the dreariest of winter day.

Encounter 6/36

@ Snow Goose Station
“I could stay here forever, Zen,” said Dude. “This is an amazing place!” “Well, you never know what lies ahead, Dude. I wouldn't be surprised if the next stop is even better!” said Zen.
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*

Encounter 7/36

@ Chickadee dee dee dee Central
Zen was very happy to meet Starla here! They both swapped tales of their experiences of their travels so far!
Chickadee dee dee dee Central
One of the friendliest birds of the Canadian winter. Many children have memories of standing outside with arms extended and feed in hand awaiting a bird to land and feed.

Encounter 8/36

@ Polar Bear Ridge
Both Pinky and Zen love the scenery at the next stop, and they both enjoy introducing themselves to their new friend, who has been waiting to meet them!

The kings of the north reside here. While they appear large and overbearing they truly can be friendly and will invite you in for halibut.

Encounter 9/36

@ Lounging Lizard
Zen and Jazzabell agreed that the variety of environments on their expedition was the best ever! Zen and Jazzabell exchanged opinions on which their favourite terrain had been so far, and which was the most interesting creature they had met in their travels!
Lounging Lizard
Oh that sun feels so good! I think I will just park myself right here and rest. Care to join me?

Encounter 10/36

@ Floating Swan Lake
Snowilicious was distracted by the sounds of loud rustling as Zen unfolded a very large tourist map, in the course of which he succeeded in knocking Snowilicious’s hat off. “Put that away, do!” snapped Snowilicious. “We’re about to pose with this amazing creature—the picture will be of your map if you don’t fold it up pronto!”
Floating Swan Lake
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.

Encounter 11/36

@ Puffin Hills
“What have you got in your tote bag, Dizzy?” asked Zen. “It looks very full!” “I’ve come prepared for anything, Zen,” responded Dizzy. “There’s deck shoes, snowshoes, tennis shoes, flip-flops, flippers, walking boots, Wellington boots—you name it, I’ve got it!”
Puffin Hills
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.

Encounter 12/36

@ Sunset at Sea
“What an amazing creature!” exclaimed Zen. Choose a name agreed with Zen. “I’m seeing so many animals, birds and insects that I’ve never seen before!”
Sunset at Sea
You never know what you will experience on the coast. Here we have the brilliant purple and pink sunset speckled by soaring seabirds in the sky. Looks like tomorrow should be a good day.

Encounter 13/36

@ Puffin Paradise
"Wasn’t it worth coming all this way, Zen," said LILJE, "for this experience alone?" Zen, admiring the creature at the centre of the scene they were now in, heartily agreed!
Puffin Paradise
Grouped together you never know what sort of mischief these birds will get into. Are they preparing to come into town? Maybe they are planning to fly back to sea. One never knows.

Encounter 14/36

@ Turtle Coast
Zen and Lillian 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!

Keep going little fella! You are almost there! Here o the Turtle Coast you will find great examples of perseverance and determination that you can carry along with your journey.

Encounter 15/36

@ Humboldt Haven
“I could stay here forever, Zen,” said Strawberry Daiquiri. “This is an amazing place!” “Well, you never know what lies ahead, Strawberry Daiquiri. I wouldn't be surprised if the next stop is even better!” said Zen.
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
“I’ve written a postcard to my aunty to tell her about our amazing safari!” said Zen. “She’ll wish she was here! Where’s the nearest postbox?” Aussie shielded his eyes and rotated 360°, elaborately scanning the horizon. “I don’t think they’ve thought to provide a postbox here, Zen. How remiss of them!” Seeing Zen’s ears beginning to droop, Aussie added, “Don’t worry, you can post your card after this leg of the safari.”
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.

Encounter 17/36

@ Seagull’s Landing
“I could stay here forever, Zen,” said Mia. “This is an amazing place!” “Well, you never know what lies ahead, Mia. I wouldn't be surprised if the next stop is even better!” said Zen.

Follow me human! I can show you where all the good treats are stashed here on the beach. We have fries and chips. Hot dogs and burgers. It is rare that we let anyone in on the secret hidey hole but you look trustworthy

Encounter 18/36

@ Turtle Rock
Zen and Morenth agreed that the variety of environments on their expedition was the best ever! Zen and Morenth 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 Rock
The ancient guardian of this rock will let you pass if you provide him with his favourite treat. Apparently he is really partial to strawberries and Macintosh apples.

Encounter 19/36

@ Seagull Beach
Zen is enjoying the view when Choose a name comes along. "Look! A special prize!" says Choose a name. Zen looks down and sees something valuable. Well Zen WAS here first ...

@ Harbour Seal Harbour
“What have you got in your tote bag, Webbly?” asked Zen. “It looks very full!” “I’ve come prepared for anything, Zen,” responded Webbly. “There’s deck shoes, snowshoes, tennis shoes, flip-flops, flippers, walking boots, Wellington boots—you name it, I’ve got it!”
Harbour Seal Harbour
Watch your step! Lounging harbour seals can be found everywhere here. It’s quite peaceful when they are sleeping but you may want earplugs when they awaken.

Encounter 21/36

@ Bald Eagle Overwatch
“Shall we take a selfie?” Zen asked Elodie Vivia ♡ as they drank in the scenery and admired their new friend next to them.
Bald Eagle Overwatch
Sitting proud and alert the bald eagle is always on duty. He senses your approach before you are even aware of his presence. Stand calmly and admire his majesty.

Encounter 22/36

@ Crab Cavern
Zen was very happy to meet fire fox here! They both swapped tales of their experiences of their travels so far!
Crab Cavern
Just because we are called crabs does not mean we are crabby! Please come on over for a visit. Stay awhile! You will see this is actually a friendly place to stop and visit.

Encounter 23/36

@ Gentoo Rock
Zen and frosty 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!
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
“Ooh, that’s a scary looking creature!” whispered Cuckoo. “It’s bigger than me! I’ll stay here and wait for you to come back.” “C’mon, Cuckoo, 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 Zen.
Clownfish Cove
Under the sea you can find these colourful clowns swimming around looking for friends. Will you be their friend?

Encounter 25/36

@ Stingray Fever
“I could stay here forever, Zen,” said Clover. “This is an amazing place!” “Well, you never know what lies ahead, Clover. I wouldn't be surprised if the next stop is even better!” said Zen.
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
Zen and Mitsy 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!
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
Mittens was distracted by the sounds of loud rustling as Zen unfolded a very large tourist map, in the course of which he succeeded in knocking Mittens’s hat off. “Put that away, do!” snapped Mittens. “We’re about to pose with this amazing creature—the picture will be of your map if you don’t fold it up pronto!”
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
Zen was excited to meet up again with Uni. They both took a moment to admire the amazing scene around them.
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
“What have you got in your tote bag, Majestic?” asked Zen. “It looks very full!” “I’ve come prepared for anything, Zen,” responded Majestic. “There’s deck shoes, snowshoes, tennis shoes, flip-flops, flippers, walking boots, Wellington boots—you name it, I’ve got it!”
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
“You never know what sort of critter to expect next, do you, Badger?" whispered Zen. “You know, small, cute and furry or really quite, um, large, with—er—very sharp teeth.” Badger reassured Zen that all the critters were looking forward to meeting them, regardless of size, furriness, cuteness and/or type of teeth.
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
Mushroom was distracted by the sounds of loud rustling as Zen unfolded a very large tourist map, in the course of which he succeeded in knocking Mushroom’s hat off. “Put that away, do!” snapped Mushroom. “We’re about to pose with this amazing creature—the picture will be of your map if you don’t fold it up pronto!”
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

@ Starfish Central
“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 Zen to Sunshine. “It’ll be a fab souvenir of our time here!”
Starfish Central
Stuck on coral with the changing tides one may find starfish of all sorts of colours here. If you are lucky you may even get to witness one going for a walk.

Encounter 33/36

@ Tang Cove
Zen and Sheba 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!
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
"Wasn’t it worth coming all this way, Zen," said Dude, "for this experience alone?" Zen, admiring the creature at the centre of the scene they were now in, heartily agreed!
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
Zen is enjoying the view when Razzle comes along. "Look! A special prize!" says Razzle. Zen looks down and sees something valuable. Well Zen 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
Zen has had a wonderful day, and has met lots of animals for the very first time, but now it is time for Zen 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!
Zen has completed the quest! Please select another pet as visitor, so it can take part in the Summer Safari!
