Over the river and through the bush,
to the farm we went. (On July 2, 2011 (also known as Dara and Ben's wedding day)... in case you were wondering what we did that day, haha!)
Take note of the fence and pen materials, and also the tire cut for giving the animals water.
And this was just the cutest goat we'd ever seen. He kept prancing around and doing a little dance on his hind legs. So happy (little did he know his fate). We really wanted to bring him home for Patches!
This farmer also keeps a zebra who thinks he's a horse (saw him running and playing with them, so magical!) and an ostrich:
Apparently, ostrich are good for keeping away lions, cheetahs, leopards, etc. Or at least they're good for making noise. Same goes for dogs and donkeys. And baboons! But some farmers also choose to keep big cats on their farm for fun, including some nearby that we've heard of. (Working on our networking and hoping to visit!)
no picture of the zebra that thinks it's a horse?
ReplyDeleteVery sadly, no... We were driving in the bakki (pick-up truck) at the time and they were running off in the field next to the road/path. (Do they call them bakkis in Senegal, Katie??!)
ReplyDeleteThey call pick up trucks "xotu almet" which apparently is also the word for a matchbox!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very cute goat! ~LAP~
ReplyDeleteThat's really interesting Katie!
