Most stay for a weekend
But I stayed the whole year through
And there’s nothing to say but
You’re the coolest of the cool
You got me into birding
So I’m officially a grandma
But I don’t mind
They make me ooh and ahh
And thanks for putting me with Jana
She tolerates my b.s.
Even when I ask her
To drive down The Abyss
You brought me close to my hyenas
And for that I’m forever thankful
Not to mention all the sightings
Cheetahs and leopards, you’re never dull
We drive your tracks like we belong
But don’t worry, we never take you for granted
Getting stuck when we least expect
Leaving our respect for you, un-slanted
Your skies make our jaws drop
Burning suns behind wispy clouds
Teaching us to use our cameras
And making our photos the talk of the town
Each of our clans that grace your lands
Entertain us to no end
Happy Zebra, North, and South
Intertwining, and hard to count
ANUB* and ONEK* from South to North
MOMO*, GOLI*, KNG* and more
Moving back to South, ensuring
South returns to it’s former glory
With only a few weeks left
It’s a bittersweet goodbye
You’re biggest drawback
Is you don’t have tacos
But that isn’t a surprise
So thank you for the memories
The photos and the fun
My hyenas and I won’t forget
This year even when it’s done
*Full Name: ANUB (Anubis), ONEK (Onekama), MOMO (Momo), GOLI (Goliath Bird Eating Spider), KNG (King Ghidorah)

Hi Waffles! You'll never know, but your reputation precedes you and you are my hero. <3
Interesting to see Waffles is still pumping out cubs. Were these photos taken from after she abdicated the throne?
How is LCS doing? Breathing?
Since AMOR is the cub of former matriarch Waffles, would that make them a possible candidate for becoming the next matriarch? Also, how come we haven't seen Waffles other cubs (Mrs. B, Ant J and LogC) for a while?
