Hide-and-seek in Eindhoven

1810.2025 – Photos by Hans Muskens

When Hans was taking photos in the Eindhoven Zoo many animals seemed to be playing hide-and-seek with him. 🙂

The cheetah in his ‘jungle’

Hello, I’m here! The little red panda wasn’t hiding so long because he was eager to be photographed. 🙂

The tiger tried to make himself invisible but it wasn’t so easy. 🙂

The lions managed a little better.

This guy wanted to enjoy the Autumn sun for a while …

… and then showed to the visitors in all his glory. Wow! What a fluffy lion!

It looks like the brownies were having a little argument.

Does that gesture with a paw mean ‘shut up’? Hopefully the couple were friends again later. 🙂

They say it’s soon time to start hibernating but I’m not sure I want to do that. What do you think – should I or should I not?

Otis and mama Frimas were enjoying a lazy day.

Occasionally Otis came to say ‘hello’ to his fans.

Walks in the enclosure …

… and a nice nap afterwards. That’s a perfect day! It looks like all polar bear cubs think mama’s back is the best matress. 🙂

Bye bye for now! Hopefully we’ll meet again soon!

  1. Dear Hans!
    It’s wonderful that you were able to track down the animals in their hiding places and take such great photos! I particularly like the pictures where the animals, such as the lion, are enjoying the sun.
    Frimas and Otis still live together harmoniously, even though Otis has grown considerably at almost two years old.
    If I had the opportunity to hibernate, I wouldn’t say no…

    Hugs
    Anke
