Deep Pencil - the musings of Morgan Bell

 
If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is there to hear it did it really make a sound? If i post a blog and nobody reads it was there really any point? You have entered the random thinking space of Morgan Bell . . . These are my musings . . . things about my life written off the top of my head . . . written in an informal disjointed style almost completely devoid of punctuation, this is where i flesh out writing ideas, discuss my life, and generally be self indulgent . . . it is also the bargain bin for articles which do not fit in with the film or arts themes of my other blogs . . . so have a wander around my mind, have a laugh, have a think, be nice, and humour me!

November 12th 2008 17:03
it must be the week for cute baby animals!

check out these two white tiger cubs who are best friends with a chimp . . . its a bit of a adopted mother-child relationship!

the chimpanzee's name is Anjana - she is two years old

the tiger cubs are called Mitra and Shiva - they are 23 days old

they all live at The Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species (TIGERS) in South Carolina, USA

That is so adorable. Chimps tend to get along well with other animals usually... so very human...

hi Journeywoman,
chimps do seem to be quite friendly!
apparently this chimp was mimicking the behaviour she saw in the human keepers . . . i guess that goes to show how important positive role models are!
thanks for the comment!

hi Javeer,
oh i know, totally gorgeous!
i think Anjana might be in a bit of trouble when the tigers get older - i think the tigers are going to out-weigh her considerably!
thanks for stopping by!

This is so gorgeous! Just the kind of nice news I like to see, because I have constant streaming news at work I almost always only see bad news.

Bring on more of the warm and fuzzies!

That first picture is quite possibly the cutest thing I have ever seen. It is so cute it is bordering on the ridiculous.

Comment by Morgan Bell

November 14th 2008 14:33
hi Ruby,
i wonder if theres a limit to cuteness that one can observe before imploding from sheer happiness?
ill admit, it really is ridiculously cute!
