Nature – MUNGUIN'S NEW REPUBLIC

SOPPY SUNDAY

**1. It’s OK, little one. You don’t have to socially isolate from me. I’m your mummy!**

black — **3. OK, Quokka, if you have any spare food, I got a nest of hungry chicks to feed!**

and the ducks — **4. On a tour of the grounds, Munguin chats to lesser animals, almost as if they were his equals.**

beezandi — **5. Andi sent this in. A couple of busy bees on a cotoneaster. I’ve been trying to get a photograph of the bees in the garden (there are hundreds) for ages, but every time I get close, they move!!!**

**6. Mum, I could give the birds a rhino ride too!**

breakfast for birds — **7. I’m gonna eat this all up before my lil brother hatches!**

hrllo — **8. Hmmm, does that make me the black sheep of the family?**

bare with me — **9. Nothing like a socially isolated stroll in the woods. If you bring anyone with you, I’ll eat them, OK?**

with the snails — **10. Munguin addresses a meeting of the Snails.**

oi get your own — **11. What’s this, a free-for-all with my breakfast?**

scrath — **12. Humans on the beaches after they lift the lockdown, leave me scratching my head. Are they all quite mad?**

wol — **13. Me too. They are all bats… er, well no, they’re humans, but batty humans.**

pelican — **14. So, is the diet working?**

take that — **15. I’m not sure you’re supposed to bite me when I punch you.**

spotty — **16. Grrrrrr… oh, I can’t be bothered.**

the king — **17. I hate it when he comes out and supervises. He says nothing but I can see him silently disapproving of everything I do.**

door — **18. Heaven, except at high tide!**

cerulean warbler — **19. If you want a song, I’m a warbler…**

Baby Orangutan Gives Mum Kisses And Cuddles - YouTube — **20. I’m giving my mum a goodnight kiss… so that’s your lot for the day. These tours are exhausting. I wish Munguin paid more.**

Thanks to Quokka, for the quokka… and Andi for the bees.

Yes, I know it’s all happening in a zoo, but as we’ve said, some of them do amazing work, and if we are taking ORANGUTANS’ wild environment away from them, then, albeit very second best, zoos are at least giving some of them another home of sorts.

SPRING IS DEFINITELY SPRINGING

So Munguin had me toiling in the fields today, despite the bitterly cold wind. He’s an animal of very little compassion. However, as he was supervising from the window of his penthouse apartment, I couldn’t slack and quickly warmed up by working double plus hard.

There were some pleasant early surprises so I thought I’d share them with you.
