Baby Orangutan

This precious little girl was born earlier this year and is learning so much from the adults she lives with.  She was so tiny!  :)

She is getting big fast!  :)

I bet I will hardly recognize her the next time I see her at the zoo next year!  

Amur Leopard

This majestic Amur Leopard jumped onto some low branches in his enclosure and stayed perched on top of them as if he was posing for pictures.  I gladly took these pictures.   :)

Owl Taking Off

I was so excited to get pictures of this owl taking off, but then I was pretty surprised when I realized the owl was flying towards me, not in the direction he was looking.  After realizing that he wasn't watching where he was going, I wasn't surprised when I heard him hit the front of his enclosure.  I guess not all owls are wise.  :)

African Lion

This mighty king lives a peaceful life at Black Pine Animal Sanctuary after a terrible past.  He clearly is very happy in his forever home.  :)

Giraffes

Last week I showed some of my favorite pictures of the baby giraffe at the zoo, so for this week, I want to show pictures of the adults, because giraffes are so awesome!

Baby Lemur

I am very obsessed with this baby Lemur!  He melts my heart when I watch him play!  He is seriously so adorable!  

Lynx Eating Meat from a Bone

These Canada Lynx were given some meat with bones in it.  They both ate most of the meat off first, and then they tossed the bones around as the played.  After some play time, they grabbed their bones and buried them for a snack later.  :)

Wolves

I must confess that Wolves are my favorite animal.  So when I was able to see wolves up close at Black Pine Animal Sanctuary, I was secretly freaking out inside!  They are amazing and beautiful creatures!  :)

Baby Giraffe

This adorable little guy isn't actually little at all!  He was over 6 feet tall when he was born!  He is significantly smaller than an adult which automatically makes him so much cuter!!  :)
