Chinta has just seen Towan approaching and has put her head down, trying to look disinterested in everything. Still no food has been found.
Towan, however, has found a leafy treat under a bush, and is eating it very surreptitiously behind an old log.
The Sun Bears were also foraging for their food. Here, one finds a hollow log filled with honey and has a wonderful time trying to extract it.
One of the Brown Bears put on a great show in the water pool today. Most of my pictures had reflections of the spectators, drat it, many of whom were yapping on cell phones, not even looking at the bears. Hmpppffff.
After its swim, the bear headed outside to the sunshine to dry off and warm up. His pal went with him. They move very quickly for such large animals.
A pair of Siamangs take a break during their daily concert. Oh my gosh, they are loud. No wonder I can hear them at our house when the wind is right.

And lastly, here's the little Arctic Fox again, looking even worse for wear than last week. I am going to ask one of the keepers if the fox is not well. Those front legs look very bare, and I would think that this is the time of year when animals usually begin to put on weight and their fur thickens.

With that, I decided to head for home. Hopefully the next time I come here, the crowds will have thinned somewhat, and with the approach of Fall, some of the trees will be a lot barer, making it much easier to take pics. So it goes.
