Travel journal – summer of 2011 – part 3

Frightened deers and does come closer to eat sunflower seeds which visitors give them. My ma claps her hands in amusement and all the animals run scared. “Stop it”, I say while I put myself in the lovely animals place. A lovely deer aproaches us although it is a sunny hot day and he is tired and lazy.

Isn’t this deer sleeping so peacefully? ♥♥♥


At the entrance, some aurochs can be seen in the distance. They are an extinct species so they are given as much space as they could have. But I am sure that it is not enough since they are masive animals.


After them, on the right, a few cages filled with all kinds of birds come in our sight. Beautiful peacocks start making strange sounds while funny tufted hens run around.

Next to them a bear is sitting lazily and does not even bother to look at us until we give him some sunflower seeds (and he actually eats them!).


We see the cage of a wolf.. I start to get some goose bumps since I have never seen a real one in my whole life. We search for him and finally spot him sleeping in the sun like a stray dog. We start making noises but he does not bother that much. He lifts his head and then closes his eyes and goes back to sleep. What a wolf! He looks like a dog! But I would be as bored as him if I had to stay closed in a cage.
A boar is running in circles while waiting for some attention. It is like people are avoiding him since he is not the prettiest creature on Earth. But I find him funny and nice in his own way. Reminds me of Pumba from Lion King C:, whom I really adore!

Many things to say but not so many words are available to describe some simple things that happen in nature. Beautiful animals that surround us should not become extinct by human fault and should be helped to survive. It is really good that people made reservations and other simillar things to protect them but I wonder how much this will help in the near future.

At the end of our Dragoş Vodă, Natural Reservation (from Tîrgul Neamţ) tour, my parents stopped to buy some natural honey that was being sold at the entrance and I saw some beautiful butterflies flying around. As I aproached one of them, I realised that it was hurt. Hope he wasn’t bittend by a bear or god knows what!

Hope that you enjoyed the pictures! Tried to upload as many as i could ~~
