Meerkat

 It took me so much longer than I expected to edit the pictures from my trip to the Indy Zoo and get them posted, but I was able to stick with my goal of getting everything posted here before I go to the Fort Wayne Zoo, which opened last Saturday.  I am planning to go tomorrow.  Hopefully the weather is good, but it isn't too crowded.  I'm so excited!  I can't wait to see how it looks after so much construction. 

Cheetahs Part 4

As I was almost ready to finally walk away from watching this pretty guy, I saw him jump up onto the rocks.  I was very intrigued about what he was gonna do next when I realized he was squatting to take a dump.  Right on top of the rock.  😂   I was shocked.  But that's clearly his favorite place to poo because there was quite a few piles already there.  Anyways, these are the last of the pictures I am sharing of the cheetahs, but I have one more post left from this trip I took to the Indy Zoo.  The Fort Wayne Zoo is officially open now, and I hope to get there sometime this week, so hopefully soon I will be posting pictures from there.

Cheetahs Part 3

 How beautiful is this cheetah??!!  So majestic!  I really loved having the opportunity to quietly watch and take pictures of this gorgeous boy for so long by myself on this beautiful day last year.  I probably took a hundred pictures of just this guy.

Cheetahs Part 2

I absolutely loved getting to watch the cheetahs for so long!!  I especially loved seeing them interact with one another.  This one walked around their enclosure for a while and I just couldn't stop staring at it.  So pretty! 

Warthogs and Porcupine

I have to admit that I was intrigued by the warthogs because they looked so ridiculous that I could hardly believe my eyes.  I mean, their hair is just so strange!  As I was admiring them, I saw the cutest porcupine playing with a stick!  

 

Elephants

The elephants were all pretty far away, but they are obviously massive and with my 70-200 mm lens, I got some nice pictures of them.  I went past them a couple times so it was nice to catch them doing different things.

Cheetah Part 1

 I love cheetahs!  I was looking forward to seeing them more than any other animals when I was planning this trip to the Indy Zoo.  I spent a long time watching them and have so many pictures to share of them.  Like SO many pictures.  This set is actually my least favorite.  The cheetahs were pretty hidden/far away and mostly laying down.  But after a while they did get up.  Be sure to check out the later pictures!
