Kashin died today aged 40. She’s been a fixture at the Auckland zoo for as long as I can remember. She’ll be very sadly missed by everyone in Auckland and especially by her much younger best mate Burma. The zoo is closing for the day tomorrow as a tribute to her.
I took this photo of Rory with Kashin (behind Rory) and Burma earlier this year. I actually feel quite sad about her being gone, she was a big feature of my childhood. 
I understand - I really do.
ReplyDeleteOh and I LOVED your pretend obit -- wish I had your way with words - but that's for another blog post I am composing in my head.
Awww. You know it we are often more saddened by the death of an animal than we are of some people.
