Making friends in Zanzibar... I met this little guy at the night market, and babysat him while his "owner" stepped away to "do some business" for a few hours... but we had fun! Tiny monkeys love sugarcane juice, in case you were wondering...
Trying on a 50kg snake at the Gold Reef, Johannesburg. Don't worry mom, he was friendly!
So, Colin and I decided to go on a do-it-yourself safari at a local animal reserve... this is our "safari vehicle", a late 80's LaserTracer! Shockingly, he survived the ride... what happened? See below...
We drove into the "Predators" section of the park, apparently disturbing a lion and his women... the lion was not pleased... this is him sizing up our, um, not-so-rugged car...
This is the lion preparing to pounce... Colin has his camera running, and there's a video clip of me screaming for him to get moving!! The lions basically chased us out, but I was clicking photos the entire time!!
The lion is way, way too close to our car!! This is *without* zooming!
Awww, tired... an older lion yawns and basically ignores us. Phew!
Hey there beautiful... look at those eyes!!

man, that lion looks pissed!
Hah, yeah, he was!! There were some guys in an SVU nearby, and they were too scared to go in!! Hah.
Nice python -- and huge. Looks like a Burmese (not native to africa) or an African Rock Python (native, but their pattern is more irregular than the one you're holding :) )
