| I arrived as
the Malasian Sun Bears were searching frantically for their breakfasts.
This one looked at me as if to say 'Well, where is it? Tell me!'. |
|
|
| The Snow Leopard
kept one eye on me, and his ears tuned to any Food Sounds which
might come from the area of his shed. He took off like lightning
when he finally heard something. |
|
|
| One of the Sloth
Bears sat in the sunshine as if to say 'I'm not rushing! It's gonna
be too hot for that. And who the heck gave me this fur coat, anyway?' |
|
|
| A pair of Lion-Tailed
Macaques put on a funny show for us. They chased each other all
over the place, trying to steal each others' breakfast snacks. |
|
|
| The Siamangs
were in fine voice this morning. They sang for a long time, and
were dutifully rewarded with oooohs and aaaaahs and even a round
of applause from the watching crowd. |
|
|
|
Pssst, do
you think they want an encore?
|
|
|
|
Shall we
dance? For such an awkward looking bird, the Ostrich is very light
on its feet.
|
|
|
| I was so happy
to manage to get a picture of my Red Panda pal. I literally had
to lie on the ground and aim up through the holes in a chain link
fence for this one. |
|
|
| A Red-Ruffed
Lemur doesn't look too thrilled that he's the center of attention.
He was the only one outside while I was there, and the little kids
were all yelling ZooBooMaFoo or something like that at him. |
|
|
| The baby tiger roared out into
the grotto at full speed. First she wrestled with a large sponge
ball. |
|
|
| She was all over it, just like
a kid. |
|
|
| She alternated between the
purple ball and another one hidden in the grass nearby. |
|
|
| From time to time, she'd pounce
on a third toy and wrestle that for a while. |
|
|
|
Then she'd stalk for a bit,
making growly sort of noises.
When I got home,
I was surprised to learn that I had taken 355 pictures this morning,
including close to 100 of the baby tiger. Whew, thank goodness
it's not a film camera! ;-)
