Seeing animals is great, but locked up in a zoo\u2026 It’s not the same. So I thought, why not an imaginary zoo? A zoo in my head, in my imagination!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

So, we have the\nlioness shining brightly, watching out for potential danger to\nprotect her offspring. What a unique kindness. Tirelessly managing\nthe hunt, the offspring. Ensuring that the Lion King, His Majesty,\nlacks nothing. What courage!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, I see the cat\nrunning away or hunting or playing, depending on its mood, depending\non the circumstances of its life. Or hey, what if it’s waiting for\nsomething, or someone. Why not… Right nearby, here’s the meerkat.\nStanding on its hind legs, it’s also keeping watch. It’s afraid of\nthe crocodile that’s not far away. Oh dear, it could almost touch it.\nThis is not the time to panic! Especially since just above its head,\nit sees a snake flying. It’s so huge that it never ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does the\ngrizzly bear think? He doesn’t think much… Except that this\npainting is a bit of a mess. It’s strange to see so many animals\nrubbing shoulders in such a small space! And it’s not over yet. A\nkangaroo touches the sky. Yes, I assure you. He’s watching over the\nwhole troop, obviously. Well, what else would he do? A boxing match,\nwhy not, but there needs to be a second one, or it wouldn’t be fair.\nI’m going to turn the painting over and check by myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lion cub… So the\nlioness was right to stay nearby. And lots of rabbits too… But\nthey’re going to get eaten alive. Help…
\nBut what’s that fish\ndoing? Could there be water? A pond? A river? This one’s got nerves.\nA real adventurer who’s apparently afraid of nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No way, a child’s head… Luckily, an adult is right next to him. Phew, I sure hope he’ll protect him. But from what? I’d forgotten, carried away by my thoughts. It’s all just imagination, an invented, dreamed, suggested reality. There won’t be any victims tonight, just friends from different backgrounds paying each other a little visit, telling each other stories.
