Moscow Animals

Sure almost every city has pigeons, it's the little brown birds here that get into everything from the pedestrian underpasses, to the subways, to the malls and even spotted in the grocery store.

The fabled Moscow strays haven't been nearly as prominent as anticipated. I have only seen a pointy eared, perky tailed, brown and tan pup cutely trotting around an outdoor mall receiving the attention he desired, and two days later that pup all grown up and lazing on the snowy slope of the Kremlin. No subway spottings yet!

In the sports betting bar there was cruelly a maze which fat rats were being raced through much to the disapproval of, well of only me, since there was nobody else present.

Finally the chickens! Seen both in the roads and behind the wheels. Primarily at well marked crosswalks of 5 lane streets where the one behind the wheel refuses to stop until the other one on the road is actually directly in front of it in its lane. Nearly witnessed a chicken with its head knocked off as lane after lane of brakes locked up one snowy, frozen morning.
