In my opinion, I think they should just rename Ocean World: Kissing World, because almost every animal I encountered was eager to give me kisses!
The birds that I interacted with next were not only a colorful feast for the eyes, they were bilingual as well; flirting with me in both English and Spanish. They must have secretly known that I have a soft spot for Latins?
Before returning to the water, I had one last animal that I needed to meet. This animal, unbeknownst to many, might prefer to live on land, however thoroughly enjoys swimming as well. And that animal is the tiger! Ocean World built them a habitat with a swimming hole that they could enjoy whenever they felt the need to cool down.
I did not get a kiss from them, but I did get as up close and personal as one could and they are even more magnificent than one could even imagine. . .
Wow those birds are absolutely gorgeous! Their bright colors are insane!
Sooo gorgeous right!?! My eyes were so overwhelmed in such a good way!!!
Lovely birds! And those Tigers look like they’re harmless. Wanna hug them! 😀
I would have totally hugged them too if there hadn’t had been any glass between us, they seemed so peaceful.
You’re right, animal-kissing pics are always winners… I need to keep that in mind!
Hahaha so great right!?! I have lots more to come! 🙂
Great animal shots!! We got up close to tigers when we visited the States a couple of years ago – amazing
Thank you so much! Animals are so tricky to shoot, since you never know what they’ll do. Tigers are really incredible!!!
The colors are amazing, I love the cropped photo with just the wings – gorgeous!
