De Brazza's Monkey

There is something about these monkeys that makes me feel like they are always serious or stern.  I think it is the white beard that gives the illusion of age and therefore of wisdom.  But then upon closer inspection, I realize that I think that monkey is hold a Cheetos, and then I no longer think of it as being so serious.  :)

Orangutan in a T-Shirt

I know I already posted pictures yesterday of Orangutans, but I couldn't leave out this guy in a tee-shirt!  :)

Orangutans

These are some of my favorite pictures of Orangutans, including some recent ones I took at the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo which show the newest edition to their group, baby Asmara!  I love the energy and wisdom that always seems to be present when watching Orangutans, even when they are just eating some pumpkin.  :)

Amur Leopard

I love cats so much!  I know I say that all the time, but I really do enjoy cats!!  This of course includes all the big cats too!  I am always so interested in watching them because this generally leads me to notice a way in which they act similar to my house cat, Penny.  :)

Gorilla

I find the shear size and strength of gorillas to be intimidating, but to watch them from a distance at a zoo is always interesting to me.  I thought it was kinda funny that this one was chewing on these sticks.  I suppose it must have tasted good to it or something.  :)

Ring-tailed Lemurs

I am in love with watching these Lemurs!  I especially love the baby lemur twins!  They are so tiny and cute!  Their mom still hides them, but not as much as she used too which means I can get some great pictures of their adorable little faces!!  :)

Kisses!!!  Hahahaha :)

Lazy Giraffe

I have too many giraffe pictures to not share some more for today.  :)  This giraffe was just chilling in the grass.  :)

This is one of my favorite pictures of giraffes!  I love seeing them responding to each other!  :)

Giraffe

I love watching giraffes as they eat!  Their tongues are very long which I think is kinda disgusting, but quite useful to them.  :)  The giraffes at the zoo are so friendly and love being fed lettuce!  I enjoy watching the excited little kids beg their parents to buy them lettuce to feed the giraffes.   This is promptly followed by squeals of delight as the giraffes tongues grab the lettuce from their hands.  :)

Long-Horned Cattle

I am not sure what the exact name of these animals are, but they are some type of long-horned cattle.  The size of their horns was quite impressive!  I would not want to get too close to these guys!  :)

Sleepy Serval

This Serval was having a lazy day like basically all cats.  Haha  :)
