Spotted: Animal, Action! :D

It was animal galore and action at the National Geographic Store at Cheng Pin Bookstore in Taipei, June 2012 :D

As one walks into the store, looking up, one notices a pair of sulphur-crested cockatoo staring unblinkingly and unflinchingly at you. Dash finds it a hoot that they seem to suggest that they have eyes on you - so be good to the other creatures in the store! :D   



Next, Dash noticed a particularly studious-looking zebra who has a satchel strapped across, and seeming all ready for academic adventures :D



Next to Zebra, stood a towering gentle-looking polar bear who has a really annoyed-looking octopus perched on his right paw :D (Of course, needless to say, when Fox, Badger and Crockie saw the giant octopus, they were shocked : )



Oh, and who could miss the poor shark who is stranded on top of a tall green frame?! Poor fellow! But on the other hand, the high vantage point gave this sea predator a good view of all that is happening in the store :D Oh well.



Then on a long table in the middle of the store, one could see some interesting episodes occurring :D Naturally, some visitors have put together a diorama of some sorts :D What caught Dash's eye was this Lion noming/nuzzling the Bald Eagle! 


There must be some martial arts sect whose top skill is Lion's Claw (or Roar or something) and another sect whose top skill is the Eagle's Talons (or Flight or something); and if the disciples of the latter sect were to encounter this scene, it would cause some unhappiness!


Then, last but not least, courtesy of our dear Galloping Geographer, baa baa black sheep all come together where three is a party! :D One can always rely on him to jazz things up :D


And therein, concludes our short take-five stop at the National Geographic Store :D
