@ Wild Horse of Chincoteague
Tranquile begins her journey to encounter Exotic pets!
Wild Horse of Chincoteague
The wild horses of Chincoteague still run wild in a National Park, where they swim from island to island, and roam where they want! If you camp with them, be prepared to share your picnic basket, Yogi has nothing on them when it comes to stealing your treats!

@ Giant Anteater Walking

Yellow Daisy Egg
My pets are in awe of these beautiful eggs—they would love to try to paint their own one year. Easter and spring are times of joy as the earth awakens, plants are pushing forth from the soil, and the days are becoming warmer. Many baby animals are born in the spring, and life is burgeoning. May these eggs bring you joy and be a reminder of the earth renewing itself.

Giant Anteater Walking
If I played basketball, I would be a first draft pick! My amazing height, er, length would give me superior dribbling and blocking skills, but here I am, living my dream instead, searching the plains for anthills!

@ Black Cat Pouncing
“Oh hello, Tranquile!” cried DORTE. “Didn’t we bump into each other in Turkey back in the spring? This is quite the change of scene, isn't it!”
"It certainly is!" declared Tranquile.
Black Cat Pouncing
You cannot see me, I am the night! A black void of fluffy hair and a slow wiggle, waiting for my prey! A quick pounce and that feather duster is MINE! pixabay694730

@ Capuchin Monkey
“Have you seen those fabulous pink and white flamingo suncatchers in the giftshop, Tranquile?” asked Choose a name. “I'm going to buy one as a souvenir of our time here!”
“Sounds great!” responded Tranquile.

Capuchin Monkey
Some of my relatives have some pretty big roles on the silver screen, we're cute! We're tiny! And full of antics and comedial relief!

@ Stallion at Sunset
“Oh hello, Tranquile!” cried SPARKLES. “Didn’t we bump into each other in Turkey back in the spring? This is quite the change of scene, isn't it!”
"It certainly is!" declared Tranquile.
Stallion at Sunset
Racing the wind along the shoreline, rearing up in victory! The setting sun showcasing my fit form!

@ Lion Tailed Macque
“Ooh, it's just starting to get a bit cool, Tranquile!” said Rufus. “Can you hold my map and itinerary while I dig out my scarf?"
Tranquile good-naturedly took charge of Rufus's possessions while he emptied his rucksack of a pack of sandwiches wrapped in greaseproof paper, a Thermos flask, a pair of galoshes, a bag of chocolate peanuts, a paperback thriller, a bottle of orange squash, an address book, some postage stamps, an assortment of different coloured biros, a bottle opener, a couple of old bus tickets, a handful of golden and silver moles, a door key, some very old receipts, a screwdriver, a bottle of multivitamins, a lottery ticket and a selection of rather battered sachets of salt, sugar and salad cream before locating the scarf right at the bottom. This he donned and then Tranquile helped him put everything back in his rucksack.
Lion Tailed Macque
If you ever come visit South India, you'll find me here, hanging out with family and friends! I know my facial expressions can be off putting, but I really am pretty friendly!

@ Dragon Fly Perching
Carruthers was sprawled flat on the grass after a good lunch. “What do you reckon is the tiniest creature we've met so far, Tranquile?” he queried sleepily.
Tranquile pondered. “Perhaps that gerbil?”
"Mmm. Or would it be the hummingbird, maybe?"
Dragon Fly Perching
When you're out paddling in your kayak, don't be surprised to find me perched on your bow.

@ Echidna Foraging
“What an amazing creature!” exclaimed Tranquile. Hoppy agreed with Tranquile. “I’m seeing so many animals, birds and insects that I’ve never seen before!”
Echidna Foraging
If you can't spell Echidna, you can just type in spiny anteater! Because they are my favorite dinner! AND what makes me special, I am a mammal that lays eggs! Those platypus' get all the limelight!

@ Yellow Bellied Sea Snake
“I’ve written a postcard to my aunty to tell her about our amazing safari!” said Tranquile. “She’ll wish she was here! Where’s the nearest postbox?”
frisky shielded his eyes and rotated 360°, elaborately scanning the horizon. “I don’t think they’ve thought to provide a postbox here, Tranquile. How remiss of them!” Seeing Tranquile’s ears beginning to droop, frisky added, “Don’t worry, you can give your card to reception at the hotel to post.”
Yellow Bellied Sea Snake
If you're an unwary fishy swimming along, I'll glide over you with my camoflauged belly, and birds of prey can't find me from the air, I'm the color of the sea from the top!

@ Common Lizard
“It's so cool to have a species name in Latin as well as English, Tranquile!” said Eternity, studying the detail in the tour guide. "What would we each called in Latin?"
"I don't know," said Tranquile. "We'll look it up when we get back to the hotel tonight!"
Common Lizard
Common? Common? Are you kidding me? There's nothing common about me. Why, I'm brown and handsome, my mother told me so!

@ Cicada
“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 Tranquile to BRUNO. “It’ll be a fab souvenir of our time here!”
Cicada
Well, not just an ordinary cicada, I'm a Canthgaster Cicada! Look at me with my nose in the air, why, some might think I'm a bit stuffy! But honestly, I'm just following my nose to the best eating spots!

Image 12/29

@ Cicadas
Tranquile and Leonardo agreed that the variety of environments on their expedition was the best ever! Tranquile and Leonardo exchanged opinions on which their favourite terrain had been so far, and which was the most interesting creature they had met in their travels!
Cicadas
Well, finding food is easier in pairs, meet my BFF Amy!

@ Golden Pheasant
“Ooh, it's just starting to get a bit cool, Tranquile!” said Choose a name. “Can you hold my map and itinerary while I dig out my scarf?"
Tranquile good-naturedly took charge of Choose a name's possessions while she emptied her rucksack of a pack of sandwiches wrapped in greaseproof paper, a Thermos flask, a pair of galoshes, a bag of chocolate peanuts, a paperback thriller, a bottle of orange squash, an address book, some postage stamps, an assortment of different coloured biros, a bottle opener, a couple of old bus tickets, a handful of golden and silver moles, a door key, some very old receipts, a screwdriver, a bottle of multivitamins, a lottery ticket and a selection of rather battered sachets of salt, sugar and salad cream before locating the scarf right at the bottom. This she donned and then Tranquile helped her put everything back in her rucksack.
Golden Pheasant
My brilliant plumage has also earned me the nickname of Rainbow Pheasant, and my gorgeous array of feathers originally hailed from China, but you'll find that we were a desired export, and have adapted well to other places!

@ Hummingbird
“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 Tranquile to Bolly. “It’ll be a fab souvenir of our time here!”
Hummingbird
When planning your garden, please be sure to add some brightly colored reds and purples, with sweet nectars! My favorite to bury my beak in and sip of the yummy-ness within!

@ Garden Snail with Hawthorn Berries
Oh look ... you won a pet!

@ Galapagos Iguana
“Have you seen those fabulous pink and white flamingo suncatchers in the giftshop, Tranquile?” asked soriyah. “I'm going to buy one as a souvenir of our time here!”
“Sounds great!” responded Tranquile.

Galapagos Iguana
Iguana, I wanna! I wanna iguana go with you to explore the wilds!

@ Cotton Topped Tamarin Monkey
"I think there'll be quite a few tired paws, wings and flippers when we get back to the tour bus," said botticelli, after she and Tranquile had spent some time exploring another rural pathway to its end and meeting nearby inhabitants.
"Is there a gift shop at the end?" enquired Tranquile. "The thought of that generally keeps me going."
Cotton Topped Tamarin Monkey
Cotton Top is a great name for me, it looks like a lovely ball of fluff, and when the breeze blows gently through it, I look like Fabio on the cover of a paperback book!

@ Flamingoes in the Fog
While Tranquile paused to drink in the view, Viola started scrabbling in her rucksack for her portable, foldable camping chair. “What are you doing with that, Viola?” asked Tranquile. “We’ll need to get going in a minute or we’ll be left behind!”
Flamingoes in the Fog
Wading out in the cool river early in the morning, the mists giving way to pale rose sunlight, matching our plumage, it's going to be a great day!

@ Hooded Cobra
“Oh hello, Tranquile!” cried Choose a name. “Didn’t we bump into each other in Turkey back in the spring? This is quite the change of scene, isn't it!”
"It certainly is!" declared Tranquile.
Hooded Cobra
Even a simple photo of me causes hearts to speed up and fear to seep out your pores, heh! Heh! Heh! Fear me!

@ Yellow Butterfly
"Hey there, Tranquile! Did you hear how Fresco fell off the landing stage into the sea while trying to get a better view of one of the creatures?"
"He was still squelching when he got back on the tour bus, Getaway!"
Yellow Butterfly
Perching precariously on thistle, we don't mind if it's a little prickly! The delicious nectars are some of our favorite, making summer the best season of the four!

Image 21/29

@ Bumble Bee
"Wasn’t it worth coming all this way, Tranquile," said Daisy, "for this experience alone?" Tranquile, admiring the creature at the centre of the scene they were now in, heartily agreed!
Bumble Bee
Call me Queen Supreme Ruler please. So much of your food and world depends on me being, well, busy as a bee! Please don't swat me, or spray me, I just want to gather pollen and help fruit trees multiply output and so much more!

@ Common Garden Snail
"Hey, you should have joined Foxy and me for lunch at that café, Tranquile!" said Meowchi.
"Oh, I couldn't resist going to that street exhibition of art by local pets. I grabbed a cheese and onion pasty from a street vendor. Anyway, what did you both have to eat?"
"We had celery soup and a sandwich each. It was great!" responded Meowchi.
Common Garden Snail
Nocturnal by nature, you'll find me hiding by day in the dark leafy greens in your garden. We tried to ramp up our street cred by saying we were vampires, but we lacked the fangs to back up the claim.

Image 23/29

@ Brazilian Anteater
FINN studied the itinerary thoughtfully for some time. “There's a lion-tailed macaque and a lion-headed goldfish,” he remarked. “Do you think there's a lion-tummied creature that we'll meet?”
Tranquile snorted. "That's you, judging by how you're packing away that popcorn, FINN!"
Brazilian Anteater
Somewhere there's a blue anteater hanging around with a pink panther, but that's now who I am, although, I really do love ants! You'll find me in the rainforest, slurping up ants like a pro!

Image 24/29

@ Green Snake
“Great to see you again, Bahama!” cried Tranquile. “I don't think we've met since we bumped into each other in Canada this time last year. This is quite a different excursion, isn't it?”
"It is, indeed!" declared Bahama.
Green Snake
Slithering silently, and native to North America, I'm hard to find in the greens of summer!

Image 25/29

@ Costa Rican Moth
“Did you see what happened to Foxy earlier, Pebbles?” exclaimed Tranquile. "He was balancing on a log trying to take a selfie with one of the critters we met, and it rolled over and pitched him into a bank of nettles!"
Pebbles joined in Tranquile's heartless laughter. “He was still brushing bits of nettle out of his fur when we went for lunch!”
Costa Rican Moth
Yeah, yeah I know! "It's so cute!" I hear it all the time! I was really going for fierce and scare the birds, but in a twist of fate, I make them laugh.

Image 26/29

@ Yellow Mongoose
Tranquile and Thimbl had shaken paws and then took some time to enjoy looking at the next creature in its habitat in a companionable silence!
Yellow Mongoose
Golden fur covers me, hence my name! I live mainly in Africa munching on small critters in the night, and my Mongoose family have a fierce reputation for winning battles with Cobras, but we avoid it when we can! pixabay 1287396

@ Fire Salamander
Tranquile and Kitty 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!
Fire Salamander
Fire Salamander! Yeah, because you can see my hotness shimmer through and decorate my skin...

@ Little Lizard
"Hey there, Tranquile! Did you hear how Fresco fell off the landing stage into the sea while trying to get a better view of one of the creatures?"
"He was still squelching when he got back on the tour bus, Mini!"
Little Lizard
She may be small, but she is mighty!

Image 29/29

@ Cobra Strike
Tranquile has now met enough "Exotic" pets to last a lifetime. As she exits the experience, she receives a wonderful gift!
Valley Between the Hills
The hidden valley between these hills is a popular locale for the smaller pets of PnF. Housing a city most pets overlook, the tiny prints of pets have made history with the largest tiny museum, art gallery, and comedy club in existence.

Cobra Strike
Rearing up and giving a final warning that I am not someone to be trifled with. Walk away, slowly and quietly...
Tranquile has enjoyed meeting "Exotic" pets, but it is time to go home now! Please select another pet as visitor, so it can also meet pets of every shape and size!
