Hazel's Joey fell out!

These are the last of the pictures that I have.  😞  As sad as it is that I don't have more to share with you, I am so thankful to be caught up on editing, and the last time I went there was a day I'll remember for a long time!  It was that day that I was able to see Sukari, the baby giraffe, for her first time out of the barn and in the pasture.  On that day, I also witness Hazel's joey fall out of her pouch.  It was so amazing to see such a tiny joey, but it was even more awesome because Hazel had been much more particular than the other moms about keeping her joey tucked away.  The zookeepers were aware that Hazel's joey had fallen out before, but they had been unable to get to it before it climbed back into it's mom's pouch.  This meant that the zookeepers still had been unable to determine the sex of the joey.  Thanks to me being at the right place, at the right time, I was able to capture these images which have helped them determine that Hazel's joey is a little girl!  Isn't she so adorable?!?!  😍
