day twenty-six - pygmy hippopotamus

such a cute genre of hippopotamuses... (hippopotami? i think it's both).

just like real life, the baby one is much cuter.

i would like to request that all two of my readers please watch 'the great rift: africa's wild heart' on abc tomorrow because then i won't have to link to it all the time. speaking of which, go here to see some horrific hippo-teeth-tearing-up-gums-action.

yum!

p.s. i have officially dubbed the pgymy hippo at adelade zoo pygmalion, so please address him accordingly

day twenty-five - meh

sorry. this is all you get because today: my dog ran away, my wallet was stolen, i lost my job, i had to wash my hair, i was in a car crash, i had a funeral to attend and i had to go to hospital. (two of those are true... well three, but i didn't NEED to wash my hair)

i only drew the right page in the first picture today. the others are lunch-time doodles of the week.

i'll cover my penchant for animals riding other animals at a more opportune time. g'night.
