My roommate

O RLY

I love the knowing look in this chick's eye. Photographed in a Hmong village near Luang Prabang, Laos.

This one's for my sister

Kittehs need to nap in Thailand, too. This one's sleeping between the legs of a large, ominous statue of a gentleman in a frock coat at Wat Pho, Bangkok.

My Balinese neighbour

Friendly local gecko helps me out with the taboo watermelon accompanying my balcony breakfast.

If only I had had video to show you the titanic head-shaking struggle it went through to break off a piece that filled its little jaw, before the strategic retreat to nom it.

I think I'm in love

This naughty little water buffalo is eating corn that was meant for humans! And eating them one whole ear at a mouthful, at that.

But how could you be mad at him when he is so cute and happy? And so calm that I could come right next to him without him stirring at all.

Sacred monkey forest

It's not easy being a parent of twins, whether you're a human or a monkey. I saw the mommy monkey desperately hanging onto each twin by the tail as they tried to dash in different directions with all their strength. When one escaped, the daddy monkey jumped in to prevent disaster, and the little family snuggled together for awhile, oblivious to the giant tourists standing right next to them.
