Week 247 ( 16th May to 22nd May 2008)

TigerWoods and Madonna playing and Hulooo in heaven again

This week the couple in the 9ha camp behaved like little cubs again. A number of days this weak TigerWoods and Madonna were seen playing as if they were young again… Most of the time TigerWoods would lie down and Madonna would stalk him. When she got close, TigerWoods would growl at her. She then jumped towards him and slapped him on his bum as if she was catching an animal. TigerWoods would then jump up and chase her around. They also sat upright and hit each other. But you could see they were only playing and not fighting. It seemed like they were having a lot of fun this week. TigerWoods also came up from the river a couple of times, looking wet. He must be swimming in the river.

Hulooo was very lucky this week. There were three people visiting this week and he loved the attention. At some stage he was almost posing for the photos and believe me there were a lot taken. He was also making this strange noise when they were at his camp. Almost as if he wanted to talk… It was not out of fear, because he kept coming closer and he enjoyed playing with them. He is very gentle most of the time, he doesn’t stick out his claws when he plays. However, sometimes he does get a bit rough when you play with him for a long period.

Cathay was being a good mother again this week. Every night when it was relatively cold, she would take her cubs into the breeding centre. They are walking a lot these days, exploring and investigating everything. 327 was shy this week, he did not show his face that often. When he did show his face, it would only be for a short period at a time.
