Cougar

Gotta be honest, I could have stayed all day at Black Pine just to watch this cougar.  My husband can confirm that I was pretty obsessed.  I don't think it was my first time seeing one in person, but I was just so captivated.  I was quite disappointed that the leopards were gone while their enclosure was being worked on.  In general, I really love big cats!

Tigers at Black Pine Animal Sanctuary

My husband and I took an impromptu trip to Black Pine Animal Sanctuary earlier this month.  It was so fun!  They have a whole lot of tigers.  I didn't get pictures of all of them.  In fact, I didn't really take as many pictures as I would have liked because my dumb self knew my battery was low and just grabbed an extra battery without checking it.  Turns out my extra battery was already dead.  So I had one low battery to use the whole time.  Oh well.  😂

Sea Lions

I think I missed this picture when I was sorting through pictures so it's all by itself as the last of that batch of pictures from the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo.  Tomorrow I have some different, exciting stuff to post!  😊

Clouded Leopard

THE ZOO GOT A CLOUDED LEOPARD AND I FINALLY SAW IT!!!  As you know by now if you actually pay any attention at all to this blog and what is written, I LOVE big cats!  I was seriously SO excited to see this majestic animal in person and have the privilege of photographing such a beautiful creature!

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!
