@ Wild Horse of Chincoteague
Puff 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

Blue And Copper Egg
The first painted eggs came from Mesopotamia, and because eggs were forbidden food during Lent, people painted eggs while Lent was being observed—after Lent, they would eat the eggs on Easter Day.

Beautifully decorated eggs “pysanka” are associated with Ukraine, and the oldest painted egg that was unearthed in northern Ukraine is dated to the end of the 17th century.

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
“Great to see you again, Alex!” cried Puff. “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 Alex.
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
“Oh hello, Puff!” cried Panda. “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 Puff.
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
“Ooh, it's just starting to get a bit cool, Puff!” said Bolly. “Can you hold my map and itinerary while I dig out my scarf?"
Puff good-naturedly took charge of Bolly'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 Puff helped her put everything back in her rucksack.
Stallion at Sunset
Racing the wind along the shoreline, rearing up in victory! The setting sun showcasing my fit form!

@ Lion Tailed Macque
“I'm starving!” exclaimed Puff. "What's Chef making us tonight?"
Jake glanced up from his tour guide, in which he had been looking up where they were going the next day. “How come you're so hungry, Puff?”
Puff 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 Jake. "Here, have a banana to keep you going."

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

@ Echidna Foraging
Puff and Lulu 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 Puff. “Let’s change sides.”
“No,” said Lulu. “Being on the right shows my best side.”
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
"Hey there, Puff! 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, Inukshuk!"
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
Puff was very happy to meet Choose a name here! They both swapped tales of their experiences of their travels so far!
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
"It's turned a bit hot, Puff. I'm going to put my sunhat on," said Layla.
"Good scheme! I'll dig mine out as well," said Puff.
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
“Great to see you again, Waddles!” cried Puff. “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 Waddles.
Cicadas
Well, finding food is easier in pairs, meet my BFF Amy!

@ Golden Pheasant
“Ooh, it's just starting to get a bit cool, Puff!” said Paws. “Can you hold my map and itinerary while I dig out my scarf?"
Puff good-naturedly took charge of Paws'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 Puff 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
Puff and Pinky agreed that the variety of environments on their expedition was the best ever! Puff and Pinky exchanged opinions on which their favourite terrain had been so far, and which was the most interesting creature they had met in their travels!
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
"Hey there, Puff! 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, Blinky!"
Galapagos Iguana
Iguana, I wanna! I wanna iguana go with you to explore the wilds!

@ Cotton Topped Tamarin Monkey
Choose a name groaned, clutching her 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, Choose a name," sympathised Puff. "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!"
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 Puff paused to drink in the view, Torch started scrabbling in her rucksack for her portable, foldable camping chair. “What are you doing with that, Torch?” asked Puff. “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!

Image 19/29

@ Hooded Cobra
Puff and Daisy Lee had shaken paws and then took some time to enjoy looking at the next creature in its habitat in a companionable silence!
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
“Great to see you again, Franz!” cried Puff. “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 Franz.
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
“Do you remember our last safari, Flare?” exclaimed Puff. "I remember being really quite scared, trying to find the way out of that labyrinth in the dark!"
Flare 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, Flare," remarked Puff.
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
“Have you seen those fabulous pink and white flamingo suncatchers in the giftshop, Puff?” asked BooChilla. “I'm going to buy one as a souvenir of our time here!”
“Sounds great!” responded Puff.

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
“Shall we take a selfie?” Puff asked Davisa Joy as they drank in the scenery and admired their new friend standing between them.
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
“Did you see those 2023 calendars in the giftshop?” asked Puff. "Each month features one of the critters we've met on our mini-safari! I'm going to buy one to hang up behind my model Fiat 500 from Turin and my ceramic Welsh clog from our British Isles tour."
"Sounds a great idea!" agreed Pebbles. "I think I'll get one for my mum."
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
“I’ve written a postcard to my aunty to tell her about our amazing safari!” said Puff. “She’ll wish she was here! Where’s the nearest postbox?”
Choose a name shielded her eyes and rotated 360°, elaborately scanning the horizon. “I don’t think they’ve thought to provide a postbox here, Puff. How remiss of them!” Seeing Puff’s ears beginning to droop, Choose a name added, “Don’t worry, you can give your card to reception at the hotel to post.”
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
Puff was very happy to meet Cindy here! They both swapped tales of their experiences of their travels so far!
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
“It's so cool to have a species name in Latin as well as English, Puff!” said Ringo, studying the detail in the tour guide. "What would we each called in Latin?"
"I don't know," said Puff. "We'll look it up when we get back to the hotel tonight!"
Fire Salamander
Fire Salamander! Yeah, because you can see my hotness shimmer through and decorate my skin...

Image 28/29

@ Little Lizard
“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 Puff to Kikianna. “It’ll be a fab souvenir of our time here!”
Little Lizard
She may be small, but she is mighty!

Image 29/29

@ Cobra Strike
Puff 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...
Puff 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!
