Red Panda

Justin, the red panda, celebrated his 7th birthday earlier this month!  I really like Justin and am sad that he is so old now.  😔

Black and White Stripes

Aren't I getting just so creative in how I split up my pictures??!!  😂  Since the focus of this blog is the pictures themselves, I find it difficult to figure out what to say.  I'm pretty sure y'all don't even care what I say because you only visit this blog to see the pretty animal pictures.  😁

Lazy Lions

Bahati and Ina decided to take a snooze.  Aren't they cute??!

African Animals

I couldn't come up with a way to divide up my most recent pictures, so instead of calling this random like I typically do, I decided to split it up by where they are found in the zoo.  These animals are all a part of the African Journey.  😊

Monkeys!

So many monkeys!  There is a Capuchin, De Brazza's, Swamp, and Colobus monkeys.  Aren't they all adorable??!  😍💗

River Otters and Sea Lions

The new river otter enclosure makes it such that it is really easy to get great pictures of them.  I have SO many pictures of them that they are starting to all look the same.  I was glad to catch the one standing up.  I also finally got some good pictures of a sea lion.  This guy was holding this awkward pose while slowly spinning in a circle.  I took some pictures and then mostly just watched.  I couldn't stop laughing at how silly he looked!  It was hilarious!  

Gibbons, Squirrels, and Lemur

Such furry, cute animals!  The squirrels had a couple more babies fairly recently.  I think that picture is a parent and baby, but I don't know for sure.

Birds

I have no idea what that last bird is.  I think it looks like a fancy chicken.  😂  But seriously, how weird and cool are those feathers???!!

Big Cats

Happy Caturday from Ina, Thor, and um... hold on while I check... Samson!  These are some of my favorite animals at the zoo!  I rarely get to see Thor because he's actually a new(ish) daddy!  I can't wait to see those little lynx babies!!!  

Amur Leopard

THE ZOO GOT ANOTHER AMUR LEOPARD!!!!  If you can't tell, I'm SO excited!  I found out this guy is just over a year old.  Unfortunately, we will only have him for this zoo season and then he is being sent off somewhere else to be with a female, probably to breed.  I REALLY hope I can continue to get good pictures of him in the short time we have left with him!  So far, he always seems to just be pacing in the back.
