An Afternoon Safari

It’s the middle of school holidays here, and you never know when you’ll unexpectedly come upon a child-oriented display.
This time around we found a mechanical menagerie in the mall.

They mimicked the real animal sounds – some more believably than others.

Who’s the king of the jungle?

Not this lion.
It appears to have led a hard life…

The tiger of the library.

And the zebra of…indifference?

Never mind πŸ˜€
There was also a flappy parrot (with an implausibly big butterfly behind a tree)

We were there later in the afternoon, when there were no visiting children.
Just us, in the cold spring evening, remembering school holidays of the past.
