Tim
gave me a very thoughtful birthday gift recently - a year's pass to
the Woodland
Park Zoo. Today we took advantage of the lovely weather
and strolled through the Zoo for a couple of hours.
Here are a couple of the large butterflies which adorn the North Gate.
They were so pretty in the sunshine. |

Tim
took this photo of a curious penguin perhaps wondering if it's feeding
time at the Zoo yet. Most of the penguins seemed to be taking siestas
but a few ventured out in search of handouts from the crowd (which
are forbidden). |
|
The
Sloth Bear and her babies were lying around in the bearpit. They were
not very visible so here's a picture of the Queen of the Sloths instead. |
|
A
noble tiger basked in the sunshine, paying no attention whatsoever
to his admirers. |
|
One
Simiang monkey was imitating "The Thinker". We had hoped
to hear them call to each other but no luck today. These are the monkeys
we can hear from our house, a mile away. |
|
The orangutans
were hiding as well, except for this one who was dining al fresco,
and another nearby who was buried under four or five sacks. Only
his paw was visible.
