Let's give the wombat a toy -1-
October 7th (the first time)
It is said that some events will be held in the Tama Zoo this month.
One of them is giving the wombat a toy.
It will be held on every Tuesday in October unless it rains.
The wombat!? That means they'll give me a toy, doesn't it?
I won't say I prefer a sweet potato to a toy.
Today was the first event, and it began at two thirty in the afternoon.
Can you guess what kind of a toy I got, and how I reacted to it?
-Chewbacca-
Around 14:00
Still sleepy
I was waking up.
14:15
I don't know that they'll give me a toy yet.
I went to the door since I thought I heard the keeper's footsteps.
I bumped into the wallaroo.
I thought that I heard the keeper's footsteps around here....
I went back to the stage and posed.
14:25
The crowd was growing.
Since I didn't know about the event, I posed on the stage with ease.
I yawned.
The visitors are always delighted when I yawn. I don't know why, though
The ball toy!
14:30
The keeper came in the wallaroos' pen and approached the fence
which divides my pen from the wallaroos'.
I hurried to the fence, and then the ball toy leaped into my pen.
Though I was curious about the keeper at first, I couldn't ignore the ball
toy.
I wondered why it "leaped" from the fence today?
You know it used to be in my pen.
Anyway, I vigorously bit and chewed the cloth which was attached to the
pole.
I attacked it so wildly that the visitors and my keeper were surprised
and worried about me.
I thought I had to guard my kingdom against an intruder,
and so I attacked the ball toy with all my might.
I have a strong sense of responsibility!
Since I found the keeper, I got excited and dug the ground.
I went toward the ball toy.
I moved it little by little, biting it vigorously.
The glass is dirty. The spots on the glass is the soil that I dug.
I moved the ball toy over to the oak tree.
As I got tired, I lay down.
However, I kept playing with it without sleeping.
15:10
Though I moved the ball toy behind the roof, I soon moved it back to the
tree.
I stopped playing with the ball toy and went to my bed.
15:30
I took a nap for ten minutes or so.
Though I went for a walk, I came back here in a minute.
15:45
I kept still for a while, showing my backside.
Played again
I played with the ball toy for twenty minutes or so, moving it from place
to place.
15:50-16:10
I moved the ball toy with my nose.
You can see I moved it here and there.
The keeper opened the door at 16:10, however, I didn't enter the room.
I didn't feel like going back home yet.
I might be too excited today.
I went toward the door since I heard the keeper's footsteps.
The door opened.....
My Keeper, do I have to go home now?
Sorry, I don't want to go home now.....
I decided not to go home.
I wonder if the keeper would be upset?
I don't care. I hurried to the ball toy.
Hi, Ball Toy, I came back to you.
16:15-16:25
The stage or the bed?
I stopped playing with the ball toy, and went onto the bed.
16:25
I took a nap.
After I slept for a couple of minutes, I played with the log a bit.
As I was tired, I lay down, holding my log.
I opened and closed my eyes for a while.
16:35-
I got up and played with the log.
My Keeper, I'd like to go home now......
It's 16:50, but the door hasn't opened yet.
Poor Chewbacca!?
No. I'm to blame.
You remember?
I didn't enter the room when the keeper had opened the door at 16:00.
