* Neopets in Hong Kong - We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who made it to SOGO yesterday. It was a great success and everyone was awesome, despite it taking up to six hours for people to queue for their sketches. If you are planning to visit tomorrow (on the 17th), you may get a chance to catch some of the artists giving autographs.
* Swimming amongst the newly complete city of Maraqua, a strange sight has been spotted... It seems Skeiths can now be turned into Maraquan versions.
* Well done Ophimialeen, your course - Tropical Choice, has just earned you this week's Tyrannian Minigolf Spotlight award.
* If you like the look of the Maraquan Skeith, maybe you should get hold of some of these new items.
* LeCosta and Cruelrose should be very pleased with themselves. Their webpage - LeCosta's Medical Page has just won today's Site Spotlight award.
* Some never-seen-before creatures have been spotted around the Lost City of Geraptiku. Maybe you could catch one and make it a Petpet?
* Ptjbff has just won this week's Faerie Caves Spotlight award thanks to their level - Danger.
* Kacheeks and JubJubs are the latest Neopets that can be painted White.
* There is a new page of Poems in the gallery for you to look at.
* The Health Food Shop has just unveiled a delicious new snack - Stuffed Courgette Slices!!!
* Spardels have been added to our How To Draw section.
* There are four new Books to make your Neopets smarter, including Concert Hall Pictures and Mystery Island Jungle Lore.
I like the crocidile looking petpet.

Lllama!
I don't like the colors though. It gets me thinking about the llamameah again and why they haven't even announced the April Fool's pet yet.

LLAMA!!! *huggles*
*thinks*
Hey, where's the creativity? These are just...normal animals.
Not that they're not good looking animals but you'd expect them to have antennae and wings and colors where antennae and wings and colors aren't expected.
*thinks*
You know what I mean.

I think at least with the first batch of Gerapitku pets, they added Mesoamerican-inspried patterns on the petpets that resembled real-life pets to make them look more exotic. I would have found that more unique than having something flat out looking like a real creature.
But I love the llama petpet though.

I think the name is Tuco, Not 100% sure though.

I'm hoping they made the llama petpet because the llama neopet didn't win the vote for new species. It was cute and all, but I couldn't really see it as a neopet.

Why, it's Tucan Sam!
The Llama is cool, but it looks a bit odd. It could be the eyes. o_0

What eyes? O.o
The crocodile-thing's back looks like a free petpetpet walkway ,,,

Well the croc's name is Crocalu and is r87. >.>
Bah...I was expecting a cooler name.

I dunno... Crocalu is kinda fun to say. 
The llama is Vacana (also fun to say) and is rarity 89, so it shouldn't be too hard to get hold of soon enough.
