Well, it looks like it hurts but it's really just a burp or a cough from this friendly
alpaca I photographed today at the Children's Zoo in Beacon Hill Park.
These delightful creatures are recent additions to the zoo. It's not really a zoo in the sense of having a wide range of wild animals. It has some goats who put up with endless petting from many children, a Vietnamese potbellied pig, some chickens and ducks, peacocks, a few sheep and some miniature horses. While we were there this morning one of the goats was giving birth before an admiring and awestruck bunch of children and their parents.
Alpacas are usually very wooly. The zoo alpacas have been shorn so they don't get too hot in our summer weather.

It looks like George W. Bush without makeup.
ReplyDeleteThe photos are very nice. I like these animals too. They always seem to be so peaceful.

Is she singing an opera:)
ReplyDeleteYep - my hair looks just like that!
ReplyDeleteHow did you get that photo of me before my coffee?!
ReplyDeleteAll right, you've inspired me to have a virtual "makeover". My avatar was made by a cartoonist at Universal Studios when I was about 4 or 5 years old.
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute!!
ReplyDeleteLol!!! Anytime I see one of these, I can't help to think of the Tintin comic books, in which they are so mean. Always spitting in revenge on the Capitaine Haddock's face.
ReplyDeleteJust fabulous! I so love, especially, that first photograph. A keeper.
ReplyDeleteUselaine beat "Louis" to it! That's EXACTLY how he feels until he gets the caffeine meter out of the red zone!
ReplyDeleteWhat a funny face, that first shot! The shearers really did some creative hair styling here.
ReplyDeleteThanks all for visiting and commenting. Whatever credit there is should really go to the alpaca more than the photographer. It's hard to take a bad picture of an alpaca.
