Chewbacca in April

The Tama Zoo in Tokyo
Where the cherry blossoms were falling from the cherry trees
(2001.4.7)

 I went to the Tama Zoo early in the morning in the hope that I could see Chewbacca come out of his house.
I hurried to Chewbacca as soon as the entrance gate opened,
but he had already come out and was eating grass. 
According to the keepers, they usually let Chewbacca go out before the opening time, nine-thirty.

-- Chewbacca's Breakfast --
from 9:45 to 11:45

I'm just eating

Green grass is delicious.
      It's really good.
I got tired. I wonder if should I take a little rest?
No. I'll keep eating.  


  

 Chewbacca was doing this

Going in
and out
And making a pose! Maybe I'm cool......



    I wonder if I should play with this stump?
 
I'll stop playing as I feel sleepy.
      
        Shall I peek at the neighbours?
To tell the truth, I like "peeking"!?
            
             
The neighbours whom I peeked at were wallabies.
They were eating, too.
         
 




After Breakfast

After eating, I have to walk and walk.
Uphill walking is a little hard.....
Walking near the glass
Dazzling



* Cherry blossoms were falling in Chewbacca's enclosure that day. He took no notice of them, of course.
Chewbacca went to sleep at noon and he didn't wake up for at least two hours.
