Yesterday I gave a presentation about my first year in Africa to the Nashville Zoo staff and docents. It went well. The audience enjoyed the sights from Thanda and my comments :-).
Earlier in the day I had a look at the Clouded Leopard cubs at the zoo. This youngster played with me for a while, somewhat roughly 🙂
My visit to Nashville is almost over and I enjoyed meeting with friends and visiting the zoo. Next week I will travel back to South Africa.
… and thanks to Heather I got a picture with me and the cub!

Hello Karen, Sorry that I missed you. I will try to call again tomorrow morning. Best regards – Christian
Too cute! Now who’s the cutie here, it maybe hard to say!! Sorry to have missed your visit. I tried, would have loved to have heard you speak at the crawl. Have a safe trip home and as always Take Care and Have A Great One.
Hello Lisa, I am very sorry that I missed you at the zoo. Unfortunately the phone reception is not very good around the Croft Center and I only got your voice message later in the afternoon. Thanks again for all your kind comments on my blog. All the best – Christian
It was good to see you and thanks for the great presentation about your 1st year at Thanda. I look forward to see year 2. I am happy to see you doing well.
Great pic. So sorry I missed you during your short visit. I was “enjoying the 4th of July” in the rain at Center Hill lake. Just got back to Nashville.

Thanks for your comment Jim – I hope to see you at my next visit or if you come to South Africa 🙂
It was really great seeing you at the Art Crawl! You should plan on an annual visit from now on!
Bob
Thanks Bob – It was good seeing all my friends in Nashville – I will try to make it an annual trip.
Welcome back and hope you had a great visit (albeit a rainy one!)

Sorry I missed you while you we’re in town! I have been wanting to purchase 3 more photographs. Can you tell me how to do that? ( I have the one with the buffalo with his tongue on his nose!)
Many thanks and safe travels!!
Amy
Thanks Amy – I will contact you soon regarding the 3 pictures.
Beautiful picture of you and the cub. Saartjie
What a good photo of you and the clouded leopard cub! OMG what a cutie! It’d be worth a couple bites and scratches to play with one for a bit! Going behind the scenes at a zoo is awesome isn’t it? 😉
Thanks for your comment Deb – Yep, I love the little cubs (even if they gave me a bit of an allergy attack :-() – Here in Africa I do not get quite that close 🙂
