replying to @Morology @Morology @kate_frankie #pttravel Sadly, our trip to Borneo last year was cancelled (for the usual reason). We've seen them at Monkeyworld, but it's not the same!

A3 #pttravel Dutch/German border. I was out for my run in the woods, and came across a wild boar. Fortunately, he was intent on his own business ... but I still didn't stick around to take photographs!

replying to @vickyinglis13 @kate_frankie A2. Can you spot our reindeer? There's a couple of herds roaming in the Cairngorms. Sometimes they'll come over to say hello while you're walking #PTTravel

A3 #PTTravel About 30 years ago, I was out on my property & got the feeling I was being watched. I looked up the hill & saw something looking at me. I realized it was a cat & walked toward it. It stood up & walked away & I realized it was a lynx. The only time I saw one.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A3. I did a walking safari in Mole National Park in Ghana. We spotted hippos, warthogs, baboons, monkeys, bushbuck + a couple of enormous elephants that just melted away into the forest. I was an incredible experience #PTTravel

#pttravel A3: once got chased by a massive wild boar in Andalucia and had to leap a fence like a prime gold medal high jumper. It was the noise it made that was most terrifying 🤣

A4: Probably wouldn’t do this these days as it’s cruel, but back in 1995 thought nothing of riding an elephant. Look closely though - the elephant seemed to be very excited about the whole thing 😳. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie @MountRushmoreNM @YellowstoneNPS That’s exactly what they do. Cannon Beach seems to be one of their favorite places to hang out. I’ve seen them laying down at the main exit off the highway. I wish I had pics of that. #pttravel
