On safari

Today we venture to the savannah in search of the elusive Goldenbeast.

His vibrant coat is in stark contrast to the lush greenery. He is better suited for camouflage in his native environment, the leather couch.

He settles down at the edge of the plains with the remains of his latest kill.

But the savannah is a popular destination for wildlife viewing, and it doesn’t take long for the tourists to swoop in to try and steal a hug.

Uh oh. There is a whole busload of them.

The Goldenbeast doesn’t stand a chance.

Truth be told he doesn’t seem to mind all that much, though. It is the nature of the Goldenbeast.

Look! A Poodleot is sneaking in from the side to try and steal the Goldenbeast’s well earned vittles.

He’s small, but canny. First: lure the hominids away from his target. A distracting dance usually does the trick.

Victory is his! The Goldenbeast slinks away to take solace on his couch.
