Monkeys

My husband and a couple of our friends spent a weekend in Chicago.  We started the fun by going to the Lincoln Park Zoo.  It ended up being much hotter than the forecast said and many animals weren't out, so we didn't stay as long as we had initially planned.  We still had a lot of fun!  I am not sure what all of these different monkeys are, but I really enjoyed watching and photographing them!

Clouded Leopard

I'm obsessed with Raury, the clouded leopard at the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo.  She seems to have a lot of spunk.  Every time I've seen her, she seems particularly interested in stalking young kids and will jump onto the side fence of her enclosure when the kids turn away to leave.  She's a beautiful animal that I am truly enthralled by.

I added this picture of a gibbon because I didn't have another post that I could include it in.  Starting tomorrow I will be posting pictures from a different zoo!  😊

Wolves and Foxes

These are the last of the pictures I took at Black Pine Animal Sanctuary.  I really love wolves which is one of the big reasons I love visiting Black Pine.  I didn't get as many pictures as I would have liked, but I was happy to get these!  I also was happy I caught some pictures of the fox when it woke up.  😊

Other Animals

These pictures are a collection of random animals at Black Pine Animal Sanctuary.  I don't remember what this first animal is, but I think it's really cute!  I definitely didn't get pictures of all the animals because they have so many!  For example, they have a lot of birds that I didn't take pictures of.

Other Big Cats

These are some of the other big cats that are at Black Pine Animal Sanctuary.  I definitely didn't get pictures of all of them, but I enjoyed watching them all.

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!  😊
