@ Wild Horse of Chincoteague
Sally 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

Purple Flower Power 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
"Hey there, Sally! 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, Ziggy!"
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!

@ Capuchin Monkey
“I’m going to buy that inflatable toucan from the gift shop, Sally,” announced BERT. “It looks such fun!”
“I think I’ll go for the inflatable parrot! It’s just the job when splashing about in the garden pool in this warm weather!” responded Sally.

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
Both Nutmeg and Sally loved the scenery at the next stop, and they both enjoyed introducing themselves to their new friend, who had been waiting to meet them!
Stallion at Sunset
Racing the wind along the shoreline, rearing up in victory! The setting sun showcasing my fit form!

@ Lion Tailed Macque
“Did you see what happened to Foxy earlier, Faith?” exclaimed Sally. "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!"
Faith joined in Sally's heartless laughter. “He was still brushing bits of nettle out of his fur when we went for lunch!”
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!

@ Dragonfly Perching
"It's turned a bit hot, Sally. I'm going to put my sunhat on," said Choose a name.
"Good scheme! I'll dig mine out as well," said Sally.
Dragonfly Perching
When you're out paddling in your kayak, don't be surprised to find me perched on your bow.

@ Echidna Foraging
“I'm starving!” exclaimed Sally. "What's Chef making us tonight?"
Choose a name ♡ Molly glanced up from her tour guide, in which she had been looking up where they were going the next day. “How come you're so hungry, Sally?”
Sally pouted. "I was just unwrapping my lunch pack when a creature ran down the tree behind me, grabbed the lot and shot back up the tree!"
"Bad luck!" sympathised Choose a name ♡ Molly. "Here, have a banana to keep you going."

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
“Do you remember our last safari, Choose a name?” exclaimed Sally. "I remember being really quite scared, trying to find the way out of that labyrinth in the dark!"
Choose a name agreed. “D'you remember that scorpion? It was quite a shock coming across him in the light of the dim and flaring lamps, although he turned out to be very nice in the end.”
"It's hard to believe that was two years ago, Choose a name," remarked Sally.
Yellow Bellied Sea Snake
If you're an unwary fishy swimming along, I'll glide over you with my camouflaged belly, and birds of prey can't find me from the air, I'm the color of the sea from the top!

Image 10/29

@ Common Lizard
“Shall we take a selfie?” Sally asked Artie as they drank in the scenery and admired their new friend standing between them.
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!

Image 11/29

@ Cicada
"I think there'll be quite a few tired paws, wings and flippers when we get back to the tour bus," said Frisky, after he and Sally had spent some time exploring another rural pathway to its end and meeting nearby inhabitants.
"Is there a gift shop at the end?" enquired Sally. "The thought of that generally keeps me going."
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
Sally was very happy to meet dragolia here! They both swapped tales of their experiences of their travels so far!
Cicadas
Well, finding food is easier in pairs, meet my BFF Amy!

@ Golden Pheasant
“How do you do?” said Sally to their amazing and friendly new acquaintance on their mini-safari, shaking paws.
Ciaré chipped in. “It’s so kind of you to allow us to visit you in your habitat. Sally and I—and all the rest of us, of course!—are enjoying our mini-safari very much indeed!”
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
Tiana was distracted by the sounds of loud rustling as Sally unfolded a very large tourist map, in the course of which she succeeded in knocking Tiana’s sunhat off.
“Put that away, do!” said Tiana, in some irritation. “We’re about to pose with this amazing creature—the picture will be of your map if you don’t fold it up pronto!”
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!
Garden Snail with Hawthorn Berries
Ooh, look at me, I'm all decked out and ready for the red carpet!

@ Galapagos Iguana
Sally and Choose a name 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!
Galapagos Iguana
Iguana, I wanna! I wanna iguana go with you to explore the wilds!

@ Cotton Topped Tamarin Monkey
“Do you remember our last safari, Blástjarna?” exclaimed Sally. "I remember being really quite scared, trying to find the way out of that labyrinth in the dark!"
Blástjarna agreed. “D'you remember that scorpion? It was quite a shock coming across him in the light of the dim and flaring lamps, although he turned out to be very nice in the end.”
"It's hard to believe that was two years ago, Blástjarna," remarked Sally.
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!

Image 18/29

@ Flamingoes in the Fog
Sally and Sikandar 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!
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!

Image 19/29

@ Hooded Cobra
Midnight groaned, clutching his stomach. "Oh, my poor tum. Why are so many of these places only accessible by boat? I've never been a good sailor, you know."
"Never mind, Midnight," sympathised Sally. "It's ages till we set off back, and with lots of walking around visiting the different creatures, you'll feel as right as rain in no time!"
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!

Image 20/29

@ Yellow Butterfly
“What an amazing creature!” exclaimed Sally. Woolly agreed with Sally. “I’m seeing so many animals, birds and insects that I’ve never seen before!”
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
Tess studied the itinerary thoughtfully for some time. “There's a lion-tailed macaque and a lion-headed goldfish,” she remarked. “Do you think there's a lion-tummied creature that we'll meet?”
Sally snorted. "That's you, judging by how you're packing away that popcorn, Tess!"
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
“Oh hello, Sally!” cried Sadie. “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 Sally.
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.

@ Brazilian Anteater
“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 Sally to Abel. “It’ll be a fab souvenir of our time here!”
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
“Have you seen those fabulous pink and white flamingo suncatchers in the giftshop, Sally?” asked Talos. “I'm going to buy one as a souvenir of our time here!”
“Sounds great!” responded Sally.

Green Snake
Slithering silently, and native to North America, I'm hard to find in the greens of summer!

@ Costa Rican Moth
“If there's time at the end of the day when we get back to our accommodation, I might do some initial sketches for a charcoal picture of one of our new friends," Lacy said, offering Sally a toffee from the bag and then unwrapping one for herself.
“That sounds like a good plan, Lacy!" said Sally. "Very relaxing, and your portrait will be a great souvenir of our visit to all these interesting creatures!"
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
“Whatever were those screaming noises you were making earlier, Orpheus?" exclaimed Sally.
Orpheus looked embarrassed. "That wasn't screaming. That was me, er, singing, to enable the safari guide to find me when I couldn't find my way out of that cave!"
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!

Image 27/29

@ Fire Salamander
“I’m going to buy that inflatable toucan from the gift shop, Sally,” announced Doctor Hoo. “It looks such fun!”
“I think I’ll go for the inflatable parrot! It’s just the job when splashing about in the garden pool in this warm weather!” responded Sally.

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

Image 28/29

@ Little Lizard
“What an amazing creature!” exclaimed Sally. Paddy agreed with Sally. “I’m seeing so many animals, birds and insects that I’ve never seen before!”
Little Lizard
She may be small, but she is mighty!

Image 29/29

@ Cobra Strike
Sally 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...
Sally has enjoyed meeting "Exotic" pets, but it is time to go home now! All Creatures Great and Small is over now, but there will be more events in PnF soon!
