Sunday Safari - An Army of Claws

Chicken Billy, King Crab

Last night Seba and I watched the spectacular Oceans documentary by French directors 

Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud. The otherwordly beauty of aquatic life forms is so inspirig!

One of the most awesome sequences of the movie was the encounter between 

two immense and heavily armoured crab battalions; it reminded me of the

incredible battle scenes of the Lord of the RIngs...

Animalarium's army is small but larger than life!

The Sun is in Taurus, and today's safari is a bloodless bullring. 

Whether raging or quiet, I am in awe of this powerful presence!
