Big Birds

I generally don't really like birds that are big.  Sometimes they are pretty, but in the case of this ostrich, I tend not to look twice.  There is something about them that kinda creeps me out.  But every once in a while, my curiosity and love for animals takes over and I find myself observing this weird bird.   :)

Swamp Monkeys

This little swamp monkey isn't very little anymore!  He has grown so much!  I love how playful he still is!  I really enjoy watching him run around and tackle the other monkeys.  :)  I also enjoyed watching him as he sat there by himself to play with something that was on his hand.  :)

Missing Bill

I don't think I said anything at the time, but Bill, the big, beautiful lion passed away earlier this year from cancer.  :(  These are pictures from last year of Bill and Ina together.  They were often seen sun bathing next to each other.  I miss seeing Bill there, and I am sure Ina misses him a lot too.  :(

This is a more recent picture of Ina by herself.  :(

Baby Giraffe Kisses

I am clearly on a giraffe kick this week!  Haha!  I really liked watching this little baby try to reach his mamma for kisses!  :)

Monkeys

I enjoy seeing the variety of monkeys that the zoo has!  They are all entertaining to watch!  I especially like the little Colobus Monkey.  He's grown a lot since I first saw him last year!  He looks like a miniature adult now.  :)

Red Panda

I really love Red Pandas!  They are just so cute!  This one was being pretty lazy until he spotted some yummy good worth getting.  He made his way through the maze of branches until he got to the treats!  He munched for quite a while and was still eating when I left.  :)

Giraffes Again

As promised, I have more pictures of these giraffes!  I really enjoyed watching the one as he rubbed his head and neck against the pole.  He must have had an itch!  :)

Giraffes

I thought I would start the week off with this long-necked family.  :)  I have really enjoyed watching these giraffes together!  I will have more pictures of them tomorrow!  :)

Amur Leopard and Monkeys

Happy Caturday!  It's been a while since I have posted for Caturday, but I am back at it again!  I hope you enjoy this sleepy Amur Leopard!  I threw in a picture of a cute, young Colobus Monkey being helped by his mamma.  :)

Banded Mongoose

Snuggles sure are nice!  I always enjoying seeing all the mongooses sleeping together in a pile.  :)  They are so cute!  :)
