This is Obi (which means “heart” in the Nigerian Igbo language) experiencing his first swim lesson at the Melbourne zoo.
Hurrah for babies! They do warm our hearts.

And I am particularly partial to the human variety. I can’t get enough of them and some of them despite having produced babies themselves continue to be babies for me even now and fascinate me endlessly.
I tend to notice dogs more than little kids, I’m afraid!
oh how adorable. i confess i felt tense… watching him almost get caught underneath his mom! scary to watch anyone learning to swim! and he looks like he sinks quite easily! LOLOL.
don’t you love the fact they let the natural sounds of water and birds singing be heard instead of a loud musical score of some kind. i would so much rather always hear nature.
thanks monk. this was a treat! xo
Yes, I hate it when they blast us with music!
Ditto to everything Tammy said
but I would also add….
now I want a swimming pool too!
😀
I used to want a swimming pool, but they can be a real burden. I would be way too lazy for one now. 🙂
