mfurfur: Recently a gathering of a species known as the white-headed American animal watchers was seen in Tanzania. Scientifically this grouping is known as a "safari." Initially the group looks very disorganized and can be heard muttering "where is my pillow,"
mfurfur: the "safari" would often check out a new territory from a distance before making their entrance
mfurfur: One safari member was heard saying "I have retired from marriage"
mfurfur: often the group would interact with a much smaller group called a "private safari"

mfurfur: One safari member was heard to ask "is this a real road....on a map?"
mfurfur: yes, it is a real road
mfurfur: "I could navigate this road very easily"
mfurfur: Frequently they are observed to be "wining"
mfurfur: sometimes these species fly without luggage
mfurfur: Sometimes they can be seen interacting with more local species. In snow-country where this species originates, this activity is known as "to-bargainning"

mfurfur: this member of the safari had "knee-monia" and couldn't dance well
mfurfur: They are even seen dancing with local species
mfurfur: "Let's go to Istanbul and see the snow"
mfurfur: Sometimes these wedding skirt interactions can portend events to come....congratulations Alix!
mfurfur: they are careful at all times to be protected from the lions
mfurfur: occasionally they use the plumage of other species to "feather their caps"
mfurfur: sometimes they have to be shielded from the cackles of their own group members
mfurfur: being social spirits, they are often seen dining as a group
mfurfur: "Ones-mo with feeling" was a spotter, tire-changer, and expectant father in the group

mfurfur: predators stayed well away from the members of this safari
mfurfur: group members demonstrated their species' mothering instincts
mfurfur: right under this waterfall would be a great place to start my Land Rover spare parts business
mfurfur: better than a tire check

mfurfur: 3 cheers for the best guides a safari could have!
mfurfur: usually by the end of the day, the safari was happy and well-cleaned-up
