Today on Easter just a few pics which I have found on my virtual egg hunt through the net...-

Just lovely how this gorilla lady from Cincinnati Zoo is wearing the basket...

Enjoying an egg...

"Every year, Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa hosts an Easter egg hunt. Like any similar event, the goodies are hidden bright and early. But this egg hunt isn't for zoo visitors. It's for the residents -- five Bornean orangutans.
Zookeepers say the event has a stimulating effect for the primates. "They get real excited," said primate keeper Nicole Osmundson. "It's something they look forward to. It gives them something to do."

This little chimapanzee lives in Buenos Aires, Easter seems to be a big thing here...Nicht nur wegen der Größe der Eier und der Osterhasen...-
Not only because of the egg size and the big bunnies... Denn hier hat der Osterhase offenbar ein festes Date und der ganze Zoo ist voll bei der Sache...., das war letztes Jahr...-
The whole zoo is busy then, these 2 pics were taken 2009, so the bunny seems to be a regular visitor here...

...the Easter bunny had no real chance to save his ears...


...polar bear lady Josefe showed no mercy at all with Mr. Longear...

Guten Morgen, liebe Birgit am OserMontag.
Da hast Du wieder lustige Dinge zusammengetragen. Vielen Dank für die Mühen des Zusammensichens - wahrscheinlich über mehrere Monate! - und fürs großzügige Teilen mit der öffentlichen Internet-Welt.
Wie feiert man eigentlich auf Rodrigues Ostern? Du schriebst zwar einmal wieviel prozentualen Anteil welche Religionen haben, aber man scheint auch gegenseitig Feste mitzufeiern oder zumindest wahzunehmen!?
Liebe Grüße an Dich/Euch - ganz besonders auch an die zwei süßen Vierbeiner. Geht's Laika schon merklich besser oder muss sie immer noch sehr kämpfen?

Today I have learned two things:
first I didn't know anything about the Christian tradition of Easter bunnies and hunting eggs.In Rodrigues I have never seen that.Some creol families buy chocolate eggs which you can buy on the street some days before Easter.I am very surprised to see that also animals celebrate Easter like that.I love the last photo when the polar bear is laughing.

Hallo Birgit,
das sind ja wirklich schöne Fotos :).
Wie schön, dass einige Tierpfleger so viel Spaß daran haben, ihre Tieren zu Ostern zu überraschen.
