@ Laughing Leopard Desdemona has been looking forward to meeting the huge variety of other animals on this Summer Safari. What a treat to find Starla here, too! Laughing Leopard I love to laugh. Wanna hear some cat jokes? Why can’t cats play poker on the savanna? Because they are cheetahs! Why was the cat afraid of the tree? Because of its bark! Why do cats always get their way? Because they are purr-suasive!
While on Safari, you met Starla.
Desdemona shook paws with Starla the Blue Beautiful Unicorn.They both received one silver mole!
@ Brown Bat While Desdemona paused to drink in the view, Draco started scrabbling in his rucksack for his portable, foldable camping chair. “What are you doing with that, Draco?” asked Desdemona. “We’ll need to get going in a minute or we’ll be left behind!” Brown Bat With all the recent news about bats being the source of the novel coronavirus called COVID-19, some people have forgotten how important bats are to us. A single bat can eat up to 3,000 insects in one night! That’s a lot of annoying mosquitoes that we don’t have to be bothered by.
While on Safari, you met Draco.
Desdemona shook paws with Draco the Midnight Happy Dragon.They both received one silver mole!
@ Soaring Eagle Desdemona and Chloe Rose agreed that the variety of environments on their expedition was the best ever! Desdemona and Chloe Rose exchanged opinions on which their favourite terrain had been so far, and which was the most interesting creature they had met in their travels! Soaring Eagle My size and status in the avian world has earned me the title of apex predator. I really am the master of all I survey. I could spend my entire day up here soaring and admiring the beautiful forests I get to call home. Don’t you wish you could fly and enjoy it too?
While on Safari, you met Chloe Rose.
Desdemona shook paws with Chloe Rose the Baby Seal.They both received one silver mole!
@ Bearded Dragon "Wasn’t it worth coming all this way, Desdemona," said Snarky, "for this experience alone?" Desdemona, admiring the creature at the centre of the scene they were now in, heartily agreed! Bearded Dragon I just finished my morning basking in the warm sunshine; now I think I’m going to munch on some of these yummy green plants and then take a little nap in my little hide-away where no one will bother me. I’m just a bit introverted and prefer my solitude.
While on Safari, you met Snarky.
Desdemona shook paws with Snarky the Chameleon Snail.They both received one silver mole!
@ Black Scorpion Desdemona and Lucy 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! Black Scorpion Yes, I have a venomous stinger but do not use it much; I prefer to grab with my pincers. My favorite foods to eat are the bugs you find a nuisance anyways so I don’t think you’ll mind having me around now that you know that.
While on Safari, you met Lucy.
Desdemona shook paws with Lucy the Tabby Cat.They both received one silver mole!
@ Wolf Pack “Ooh, that’s a scary looking creature!” whispered Hermione. “It’s bigger than me! I’ll stay here and wait for you to come back.” “C’mon, Hermione, 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 Desdemona. Wolf Pack Hello traveler! We were just settling down for our afternoon nap in this patch of grass. If you are weary from your travels and need a little rest, please feel free to join us. There’s plenty of room and there’s a lovely breeze wafting through the forest.
While on Safari, you met Hermione.
Desdemona shook paws with Hermione the Brown Owl.They both received one silver mole!
@ Leery Lizards Desdemona and ypmblessed 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! Leery Lizards We thought that teaming up together to tackle this labyrinth would make things easier, but these mazes are HARD! We’re not sure if it’s the pile-ups when all three of us slam into a maze’s dead-end together, or not being able to decide whether to go left or right as one of us is always undecided instead of being the tie-breaker! Now we’re really “on edge” at this point, trying to figure out who’s going to climb over and see where this path leads.
While on Safari, you met ypmblessed.
Desdemona shook paws with ypmblessed the Blue Beautiful Unicorn.They both received one silver mole!
@ As The Crow Flies Desdemona and Mitsy agreed that the variety of environments on their expedition was the best ever! Desdemona and Mitsy exchanged opinions on which their favourite terrain had been so far, and which was the most interesting creature they had met in their travels! As The Crow Flies If you’ve ever wondered how far it is from point A to point B this bird is often associated with the phrase “as the crow flies” describing the distance as if it were measured in a straight line. When one says this it usually implies it is a much longer distance if one must travel by the constraints of a road.
While on Safari, you met Mitsy.
Desdemona shook paws with Mitsy the Grey Playful Kitten.They both received one silver mole!
@ Resting Mole Desdemona and Mitsy agreed that the variety of environments on their expedition was the best ever! Desdemona and Mitsy exchanged opinions on which their favourite terrain had been so far, and which was the most interesting creature they had met in their travels! Resting Mole Nope, I’m not stuck, I’m just resting. I’ve been quite busy digging around trying to find as many wormies as I can. I really love wormies and I have a whole underground room with hundreds of them stored away for later. I really do! If I could show you I would but you are too big to fit in my burrow.
While on Safari, you met Mitsy.
Desdemona shook paws with Mitsy the Ragdoll Kitten.They both received one silver mole!
@ Posing Bobcat “Ooh, that’s a scary looking creature!” whispered Symphony. “It’s bigger than me! I’ll stay here and wait for you to come back.” “C’mon, Symphony, 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 Desdemona. Posing Bobcat ‘Bob’ isn’t my name; it refers to my cute stubby tail which you can’t see because the photographer thought my gorgeous face should be photographed instead. Don’t you agree that it’s my best feature?
While on Safari, you met Symphony.
Desdemona shook paws with Symphony the Green Happy Dragon.They both received one silver mole!
@ Pond Snail “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 Desdemona to Jaylee. “It’ll be a fab souvenir of our time here!” Pond Snail Heading somewhere, eh? Well, I am too. They say there’s a prize at the end of this trail, but I think I am going to be the last one to get there because I am such a slowpoke. Good thing it’s a journey and not a race. You go on ahead, I’ll be there later… much later!
While on Safari, you met Jaylee.
Desdemona shook paws with Jaylee the Chocolate Milky Moo Cow.They both received one silver mole!
@ A Crash of Rhinos Desdemona opened her rucksack to change her hat. Midnight could see Desdemona 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?” Midnight asked Desdemona. A Crash of Rhinos Rhinos are HUGE, weighing over 95 stone (1330 lbs/600 kg). A rhino horn is made of the same substance as human fingernails. They have poor vision and rely on their sense of smell.
While on Safari, you met Midnight.
Desdemona shook paws with Midnight the Midnight Happy Dragon.They both received one silver mole!
@ Zebra Spider “What an amazing creature!” exclaimed Desdemona. lady lovely agreed with Desdemona. “I’m seeing so many animals, birds and insects that I’ve never seen before!” Zebra Spider Hi. Whatcha doin? BOING. You hungry? BOING. I can catch you some dinner. Do you like bugs? BOING. I like to jump. Can’t you tell? BOING. Ooh, I see a mosquito. Gotta go! BOING.
While on Safari, you met lady lovely.
Desdemona shook paws with lady lovely the Blue Beautiful Unicorn.They both received one silver mole!
@ African Leopard Desdemona was excited to meet up again with TenderTeddy. They both took a moment to admire the amazing scene around them. African Leopard You might find it a bit scary but climbing down a tree head-first is quite an easy task for us leopards. We can also jump very high (3 m or 10 ft) and leap over a 6 m (20 ft) expanse. With all those abilities, our outlook on life can be described with the saying Hakuna Matata! Yes, we really do say that in Kenya! It is Swahili and it is translated “there are no troubles.”
While on Safari, you met TenderTeddy.
Desdemona shook paws with TenderTeddy the Blue Polar Bear.They both received one silver mole!
@ Swallowtail Caterpillar “You never know what sort of critter to expect next, do you, Tango?" whispered Desdemona. “You know, small, cute and furry or really quite, um, large, with—er—very sharp teeth.” Tango reassured Desdemona that all the critters were looking forward to meeting them, regardless of size, furriness, cuteness and/or type of teeth. Swallowtail Caterpillar It’s a good thing I taste bad to predators because that ensures more of us will live to go through metamorphosis. After I emerge from my chrysalis I will become a beautiful Eastern Black Swallowtail Butterfly.
While on Safari, you met Tango.
Desdemona shook paws with Tango the Orangutan.They both received one silver mole!
@ Atlas Moth "Wasn’t it worth coming all this way, Desdemona," said Tiana, "for this experience alone?" Desdemona, admiring the creature at the centre of the scene they were now in, heartily agreed! Atlas Moth One of the grandest moths to grace the forests, the atlas moth has an impressive wingspan of up to 24 cm (9.4 inches). Strangely enough, they don’t have mouths and do not eat once they emerge from their cocoon, spending their entire one to two-week lifespan living on fat storage.
While on Safari, you met Tiana.
Desdemona shook paws with Tiana the Ragdoll Kitten.They both received one silver mole!
@ Brown Agama Lizard “Shall we take a selfie?” Desdemona asked Midnite as they drank in the scenery and admired their new friend next to them. Brown Agama Lizard Many of us lizards are quite good at camouflage. We’re so good that you almost didn’t see me here! We can even change color depending on our mood! What mood do you think I might be feeling right now?
While on Safari, you met Midnite.
Desdemona shook paws with Midnite the Midnight Happy Dragon.They both received one silver mole!
@ Blue Damselfly While Desdemona paused to drink in the view, SPARKLES started scrabbling in her rucksack for her portable, foldable camping chair. “What are you doing with that, SPARKLES?” asked Desdemona. “We’ll need to get going in a minute or we’ll be left behind!” Blue Damselfly The damselfly may be delicate but is definitely not a damsel in distress. Similar to, and often mistaken for dragonflies, they are found on every continent except Antarctica. If you dislike mosquitoes (isn’t that everybody?), then you will find these insects to be especially useful in controlling the mosquito population, as damselflies find them very tasty.
While on Safari, you met SPARKLES.
Desdemona shook paws with SPARKLES the Blue Beautiful Unicorn.They both received one silver mole!
@ Ribbon Snake Desdemona is enjoying the view when Midnight Bleu comes along. "Look! A special prize!" says Midnight Bleu. Desdemona looks down and sees something valuable. Well Desdemona WAS here first ... Ribbon Snake Ribbon ssssnakes are a common sssspecies of the garter ssssnake, but isn’t our coloring more sssstriking with our beautiful golden yellow sssstripes? I think sssso.
While on Safari, you met Midnight Bleu.
Desdemona shook paws with Midnight Bleu the Blue Beautiful Unicorn.They both received one silver mole!
@ Fire Ant Desdemona was excited to meet up again with Rhian. They both took a moment to admire the amazing scene around them. Fire Ant When I sting it feels like fire burning on your skin. I pack quite a punch for being so small, don’t I? I am one tough little insect because I can survive extreme heat and freezing cold temperatures. If we happen to get trapped in a flood, we will all (often 100,000 or more) band together into a raft shape and float en masse until we find land again.
While on Safari, you met Rhian.
Desdemona shook paws with Rhian the Green Beautiful Unicorn.They both received one silver mole!
@ Sensitive Strawberry Poison Dart Frog “You never know what sort of critter to expect next, do you, queenielove?" whispered Desdemona. “You know, small, cute and furry or really quite, um, large, with—er—very sharp teeth.” queenielove reassured Desdemona that all the critters were looking forward to meeting them, regardless of size, furriness, cuteness and/or type of teeth. Sensitive Strawberry Poison Dart Frog You have no idea what I have to overcome as part of this labyrinth community. First, try playing hide and seek with the neighborhood frogs who all blend in with the browns, greys, and greens of the rocks, grasses, and lands along this maze! I mean – have you seen my colors?? How am I supposed to hide with all of this on me?? And try having new pets to get to know you with a name like “Strawberry Poison Dart Frog!” Not a name that you just want to play leapfrog with, let me tell you!
While on Safari, you met queenielove.
Desdemona shook paws with queenielove the Black Feisty Fox.They both received one silver mole!
@ Spotted Owl Desdemona and Edward O. 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! Spotted Owl Spotted owls make their homes in old-growth forests and hunt small mammals by perching quietly on a branch and listening for something rustling in the grasses beneath them. Owls cannot digest fur and bones and cough them up in a pellet about six hours after they eat. Scientists learn about an owl’s diet by examining the contents of the pellet.
While on Safari, you met Edward O..
Desdemona shook paws with Edward O. the Astonishing Helper Ant.They both received one silver mole!
@ Ladybird Beetle “Shall we take a selfie?” Desdemona asked Hope as they drank in the scenery and admired their new friend next to them. Ladybird Beetle Also commonly referred to as a “ladybug,” the ladybird is obviously neither a “lady” or a “bird.” The ladybird’s unusual name came from Britain, a reference to “our lady’s bird.” Its seven spots are said to symbolize the seven joys and seven sorrows of the Virgin Mary (“our lady”).
While on Safari, you met Hope.
Desdemona shook paws with Hope the Lilac Daydream Unicorn.They both received one silver mole!
@ Jewel Beetle Desdemona was excited to meet up again with NightGhost. They both took a moment to admire the amazing scene around them. Jewel Beetle No need to spend large amounts of cash to buy fancy jewelry. Adorned with vivid iridescent colors, the jewel beetle is all dressed up and ready to go to any posh party.
While on Safari, you met NightGhost.
Desdemona shook paws with NightGhost the Screech Owl.They both received one silver mole!
@ Busy Bee “I’ve written a postcard to my aunty to tell her about our amazing safari!” said Desdemona. “She’ll wish she was here! Where’s the nearest postbox?” LoyaLloyd shielded his eyes and rotated 360°, elaborately scanning the horizon. “I don’t think they’ve thought to provide a postbox here, Desdemona. How remiss of them!” Seeing Desdemona’s ears beginning to droop, LoyaLloyd added, “Don’t worry, you can post your card after this leg of the safari.” Busy Bee Yes, you heard correctly that bees are good at knowing which direction to go to find nectar. We even have little wiggles to communicate to each other. So, if you need directions to the center of this labyrinth just watch. What, you don’t understand my bee wiggles? I guess you’ll just have to ask someone else for help. I've got to get back to gathering nectar. Good day!
While on Safari, you met LoyaLloyd.
Desdemona shook paws with LoyaLloyd the Black Great Dane.They both received one silver mole!
@ Common Chameleon “You never know what sort of critter to expect next, do you, Bill?" whispered Desdemona. “You know, small, cute and furry or really quite, um, large, with—er—very sharp teeth.” Bill reassured Desdemona that all the critters were looking forward to meeting them, regardless of size, furriness, cuteness and/or type of teeth. Common Chameleon Uh oh, something is wrong! I keep trying to change color to blend in with this branch so I can hide from predators, but it’s not working. I need to hurry along and find something green. Bye!
While on Safari, you met Bill.
Desdemona shook paws with Bill the Bashful Badger.They both received one silver mole!
@ Longhorn Beetle “Ooh, that’s a scary looking creature!” whispered Max. “It’s bigger than me! I’ll stay here and wait for you to come back.” “C’mon, Max, 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 Desdemona. Longhorn Beetle Well, hello there! I decided to crawl onto this mossy rock to see what was on the other side and I run into you! What are you doing crawling on the ground anyways? Aren’t you supposed to be walking? You need to move, or else I’m going to crawl right over you.
While on Safari, you met Max.
Desdemona shook paws with Max the Merry Mole.They both received one silver mole!
@ Green Hairstreak Butterfly “I’ve written a postcard to my aunty to tell her about our amazing safari!” said Desdemona. “She’ll wish she was here! Where’s the nearest postbox?” Munich shielded his eyes and rotated 360°, elaborately scanning the horizon. “I don’t think they’ve thought to provide a postbox here, Desdemona. How remiss of them!” Seeing Desdemona’s ears beginning to droop, Munich added, “Don’t worry, you can post your card after this leg of the safari.” Green Hairstreak Butterfly The genus name of the green hairstreak is Callophrys, a Greek word meaning “beautiful eyebrows.” Doesn’t that make me the envy of all who struggle with having “imperfect” eyebrows!
While on Safari, you met Munich.
Desdemona shook paws with Munich the Red Feisty Fox.They both received one silver mole!
@ Great Kingfisher “What an amazing creature!” exclaimed Desdemona. Pixie agreed with Desdemona. “I’m seeing so many animals, birds and insects that I’ve never seen before!” Great Kingfisher Yesterday when he returned from fishing, he bragged that he caught one “this big,” stretching out his wings fully. It appears that it is a common trait of all who love to fish to exaggerate the size of the catch to keep up your reputation of being the king of fishing
While on Safari, you met Pixie.
Desdemona shook paws with Pixie the Green Beautiful Unicorn.They both received one silver mole!
@ Scarlet Ibis “I could stay here forever, Desdemona,” said Mini. “This is an amazing place!” “Well, you never know what lies ahead, Mini. I wouldn't be surprised if the next stop is even better!” said Desdemona. Scarlet Ibis The scarlet ibis is a vividly colored bird with a personality that matches its bright plumage. It is an extremely extroverted bird, often found in colonies of thousands of other ibises. The ibis are also very inclusive of other flocks of large birds, such as storks, egrets, and herons. “Birds of a feather flock together” and “There is safety in numbers” are two sayings the ibises and their friends live out every day.
While on Safari, you met Mini.
Desdemona shook paws with Mini the Majestic Monarch Butterfly.They both received one silver mole!
@ Yellow Macaw Desdemona and Solveig shook paws and said “How do you do?” to the next creature who had come to meet them, and posed for a souvenir photo. “Why am I always on the left?” grumbled Desdemona. “Let’s change sides.” “No,” said Solveig. “This side shows my best side.” Yellow Macaw Ahoy, me hearties! It be a fine day for a journey, eh? I’ve been hoping for some mateys to tag along with and here ye be! Let’s sing the chantey to pass the time as we journey into unchartered territory. Can ye peer into this spyglass and see if you can see the end up ahead somewhere? They tell a tall tale of some grand coffer to be had. Blimey!
While on Safari, you met Solveig.
Desdemona shook paws with Solveig the Sparkling Snow Foxee.They both received one silver mole!
@ Rainbow Lorikeet Desdemona and Snowy 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! Rainbow Lorikeet I love all the colors of the rainbow, the brighter the better! What is your favorite color? There’s a good chance I’m wearing it. Maybe that’s why everybody loves me! I’m not shy or afraid, so I’ll come right up and land on you, especially if you have some yummy fruit, seeds or nectar to feed me.
While on Safari, you met Snowy.
Desdemona shook paws with Snowy the Sparkling Snow Foxee.They both received one silver mole!
@ Hummingbird Buffet Both LILJE and Desdemona love the scenery at the next stop, and they both enjoy introducing themselves to their new friend, who has been waiting to meet them! Hummingbird Buffet Zipping and sipping; those are my two favorite things to do! Oh my, look at all those beautiful flowers! What sweet nectar awaits. Oh, if I could just decide which flower to sip first! This one? ZIP. No, that one. ZIP. Yes, that’s the one. SIP. SIP. SIP. Ahhh!
While on Safari, you met LILJE.
Desdemona shook paws with LILJE the Blue Polar Bear.They both received one silver mole!
@ Indian Peacock “I could stay here forever, Desdemona,” said Zoot. “This is an amazing place!” “Well, you never know what lies ahead, Zoot. I wouldn't be surprised if the next stop is even better!” said Desdemona. Indian Peacock This species of peacock has the most iridescent plumage of all the peacocks. Their blue and green plumage are the most spectacular of all birds with their elongated tail feathers called the train. These feathers are displayed in a fan shape to attract females during mating season. This actually has a purpose! Females prefer the males that have more eyespots on their feathers and the resulting chicks usually weigh more and therefore survive better in the wild.
While on Safari, you met Zoot.
Desdemona shook paws with Zoot the Green Happy Dragon.They both received one silver mole!
@ Harvest Moon Cat Silhouette Desdemona is enjoying the view when get-a-job-bring-me-a-mouse-and-a-20 comes along. "Look! A special prize!" says get-a-job-bring-me-a-mouse-and-a-20. Desdemona looks down and sees something valuable. Well Desdemona WAS here first ... Harvest Moon Cat Silhouette Perched on a bare branch, this silhouetted kitty gazes at the fiery ball in the night sky and remembers all the wonderfully fun things about summer and contemplates the autumn season that will soon be here.
While on Safari, you met get-a-job-bring-me-a-mouse-and-a-20.
Desdemona shook paws with get-a-job-bring-me-a-mouse-and-a-20 the Grey Playful Kitten.They both received one silver mole!

@ The Labyrinth x Desdemona has had a wonderful day, and has met lots of animals for the very first time, but now it is time for Desdemona to go back to your page and relax. The Labyrinth x Your pet faces a challenging time negotiating the bewildering path to the middle of a twilit labyrinth, with only a few flickering flares lighting the way. Just as the end appears nigh, the track doubles back on itself and leads even further away . . . The tree-lined route is dark and a little eerie! All sorts of creatures are waiting to greet your pet along the way. Some have a scary reputation—but have no fear! The little spider is quite cute and the snake and scorpion might alarm with their appearance but rest assured, they will not hurt a single hair of your pet’s fur or a single wing feather! And on successfully reaching the centre of the maze, what exciting treasure awaits your pet there? Desdemona has completed the quest! The Summer Safari is now over, but PnF will hold a new event again soon!
While on Safari, you met Otto.
