New Zealand the fluffy, the puffy, the squirmy, the great!

SHEEP! ShEeP! Sheeeep! SHeeP! I love you!

I'm not sure what it says about me but one of my fave, fave, favorite things about New Zealand was the multitudes of seemingly happy sheep grazing in giant fields of green green grass!

My very scientific classifications of sheep (in photo)

These are the classifications of sheep I sadly did not capture in photo:
  • Cows-and-sheep-grazing-together-in-a-field Sheep
  • Sheep-grazing-in-vineyards-under-grapes Sheep
  • Horses-and-sheep-living-in-harmony Sheep
  • Walking-in-a-line-on-a-mission Sheep
  • Rolling-Hills-in-Hobbiton Sheep
  • Sheep-as-far-as-you-can-see Sheep
  • Hundrends-of-sheep-seeking-shade-under-trees Sheep
  • Feeling-naked-and-freshly-sheered Sheep
  • Sheep-and-baby-lambs-Sheep-and-baby-Lambs-Sheep-and-baby-Lambs Sheep
  • Rain-falling-muddy-buddy Sheep
  • Sheep-under-amazing-skies-and-the-greenest-grass-you've-ever-seen Sheep

Sheep are amazing but we mustn't forget the beauty of the Almighty Alpaca

These four alpacas were fluffy, and puffy, and very hard to walk away from. They were wonderful!

The Fascinating Kiwi!

Picture
If you are like me you know nothing about the Kiwi bird. I'm here to tell you it is an amazing and crazy little/big creature. Here's a few quick fascinating facts:
  • it's feathers are more like fur
  • it has whiskers like a cat!
  • only found in NZ
  • lay the largest egg in relation to their body size of any species of bird in the world

We were fortunate to get a special Kiwi experience and educational opportunity at Rainbow Springs
through our Kiwi Experience bus tour.

Giant Squid

This is the only specimen in the world of a giant squid. These were long believed to be a myth like the Loch Ness Monster. We saw this at the Te Papa museum in Wellington (a really cool free museum).

    Creature Feature

    Animals are so fun to watch and it's always a pleasant surprise when I get to see a wild anything meander across our path.
