I tried to be patient today. Truly I did. I headed straight to the Rainforest pavilion before my lenses had a chance to fog up. I spent hours there for a 3 minute look at the Ocelots, made difficult by the crowds. Oh well, win some, lose some and at the Zoo it's never a total loss. |
A Golden Lion Tamarin waits with me for the Ocelots to show up.
'Heh!' says the Tiger Rat Snake. 'Pull up a seat and get comfy.
It might be a while.'
'We have ringside seats.' chortled the Side-necked Turtles.
'We're next door to the Ocelots.'
Suddenly Evita appears.
She prowls around a little bit, checking things out.
Mom (Belle) is never far away from her baby.
In a typical cat behavior, Evita sharpens up those tiny claws.
She's a very curious cat.
'Hmmppfff!' thinks one of the Jaguars. 'All that fuss about a baby!'
The Meerkats were on guard, watching everything.
In the Brown Bear area, the boys were having a tussle in the water.
The brothers were having fun play-wrestling.
Exclaimed the River Otter. 'I'm glad I'm here and they're over there!'
'This sure is a busy Zoo!' murmured a Gray Wolf. 'I like it!'
