I spent a few hours at the Zoo today, trying to choose some of the
less crowded areas (which was a bit futile). It was good to see
the animals again. I also enjoyed my first visit of the year to
the Butterfly Exhibit.

The porcupine
has been rather elusive lately. There's a new fallen tree in his
enclosure with lots of good hiding spots for him.
|
|
|
Both of the
Grizzly Bears were very active this morning. This guy paced back
and forth, back and forth in the grassy area.
|
|
|
His
partner seemed to prefer wading in the stream.
|
|
|
"What
choo lookin' at, lady?" the tiger seemed to say.
|
|
|
So
did the lion.
|
|
|
Awww,
okay - you can take my picture, I guess.
|
|
|
Geeez,
where did all these kids come from?
|
|
|
|
Red-flanked
duikers are tiny antelopes. This is a father with his year-old
son. A mother and daughter are in a separate compound in the Conservation
Area.
|
|
|
A
tiny cowbird was dwarfed by the Zebra.
|
|
|
Is
the Giraffe trying to decide whether bending down to eat something
is worth the effort?
|
|
|
Two
hippos have a watery chat.
|
|
|
Melati
huddles inside the building, waiting for lunchtime.
|
|
|
Her
pal Chinta enjoys the hammock out in the fresh air.
|
|
|
I'll
make my cute face, just for you.
