@ Golden Clover "Here's a good proverb, Kitty!" remarked Ellipse. "Speech is silver; silence is golden. It's true, isn't it?" "I'm going to have that Tremeloes hit going round in my head for the rest of the day now!" groaned Kitty. Golden Clover Nothing is more beautiful than Mother Nature's efforts, and scenes from sunrise and sunset are amongst the most astounding.

@ Night Owl "Quiz question, Splash!" announced Ellipse. "How much gold does a British pound coin contain?" Splash pondered. "I shouldn't have thought very much, you know. How much gold does it contain?" "None!" declared Ellipse. "The circulating British one pound (£1) coin is minted from a nickel-brass alloy of approximately 70% copper, 24.5% zinc, and 5.5% nickel." Night Owl The tawny owl or brown owl (Strix aluco) is a stocky, medium-sized owl commonly found in woodlands across much of Europe, Asia and North Africa. Shakespeare used the tawny owl's song in Love's Labour's Lost (Act 5, Scene 2) as Then nightly sings the staring owl, Tu-whit; Tu-who, a merry note, While greasy Joan doth keel the pot, but this stereotypical call is actually a duet, with the female making the kew-wick sound, and the male responding hooo.
While enjoying the show, you met Splash.

@ Gold Foil “So which countries produce the LEAST gold in the world, Ellipse?” asked Reisa teasingly. "Well, among the countries that do gold mining, it's New Zealand, with a yield of 5 tonnes a year. Finland and Sweden are just above them, with 8 tonnes a year each," replied Ellipse. Gold Foil You wouldn't want to use this gold foil to wrap your lunch in as this is designed for decorative purposes. The silver foil could be used for decorative purposes as well but who would want to when you have this festive gold foil?
While enjoying the show, you met Reisa.

Irish Setter If you want a beautiful, good-natured pet that will be friendly with other animals, the Irish Setter may be for you! However, you must make sure he gets plenty of exercise, and you should be prepared for its habit, when young, of its exuberant jumping up at you. He'll also need a lot of brushing and combing!
While enjoying the show, you met Cherokee.
Ellipse shook paws with Cherokee the Black Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!
@ Patchwork Piggie "Listen to this, Ellipse," said Cuckoo. "It says in our brochure: 'English gold is among the rarest in the world.

Those searching in Scotland and Wales are more likely to be lucky in finding gold.'" "Wow!" responded Ellipse. "We missed an opportunity in our British Isles tour!" Patchwork Piggie Although I'm no wand'ring minstrel, I do seem to be "a thing of shreds and patches"! My coat is a mix of white, gold and caramel. I think it's fair to say I'm quite unique!

@ Golden Lion Tamarin "This is an extremely varied set of exhibits, Ellipse!" remarked fluffy. "We're going from really cosy pictures of pets to amazing scenic landscapes!" Golden Lion Tamarin Lion tamarins take their name from their impressive manes, reminiscent of Africa's great cats. It is also known as the golden marmoset. The golden lion tamarin may be the most beautiful of the four lion tamarin species. Its abundant golden hair frames a cheeky, charismatic little black face and covers its small body and tail. These rare, not to say endangered primates, have far more in common with their monkey relatives than any feline. Sadly, their habitats in Brazil's Atlantic coastal rainforests are disappearing due to ever-expanding logging, agriculture, and industry.

@ Owl Be Watchin' You “If there's time at the end when we get back to the hotel tonight, I might do some initial sketches for a watercolour painting," Midnight Bleu said, offering Ellipse a toffee from the bag and then unwrapping one for himself. "All this artwork is inspiring me!" “That sounds like a good plan, Midnight Bleu!" said Ellipse. Owl Be Watchin' You Did you know that the color of an owl's eyes can help identify its species and what time of day it prefers to hunt? Owls with black eyes are nocturnal. The black color helps them to camouflage in the darkness. Owls with yellow eyes are diurnal, which means they prefer to hunt in the daytime and sleep at night. And owls with orange eyes are crepuscular, meaning they’re active during low light periods such as dusk and dawn, and prefer hunting for their meal during those times of the day.
While enjoying the show, you met Midnight Bleu.

@ Lion King and Queen "Pure gold must be very crunchy, Asparagus!" "Why's that, Ellipse?" "Because it's made of 24 carrots!" Asparagus waited for her to stop writhing with laughter.
