Bonobo Monkeys and Gorillas

This pair of mothers were separated from the others as they groomed and fed their babies.  It was sweet watching them care for their young.

I had a difficult time getting pictures of the gorillas because the shear number of people.  There was actually a little baby that I never even got a picture of.  There was a crowd of people that wouldn't move along and then others cut in ahead of me meaning that even though I waited for a while, I gave up and never saw the baby.

Little Monkeys and Other Animals

 I really love watching monkeys!  Sometimes they are difficult to photograph because they are so capable of jumping around too fast for me to keep up with them.  That was the case with the baby Bonobo.  He was so cute but very hard to photograph!

I was a bit bummed that I couldn't get a better picture of the Koala, but as I looked at the pictures I took on my camera screen, I realized there was a second Koala that I didn't see in person.  So cute!

Markhor, Elephant, and Rhino

 The weather was so perfect for a zoo trip!  So many of the animals were out an active.  I had read online that there is a baby elephant, but we did not see it.  It is only out for a couple hours a day and the lines to see it didn't make it worth it for us, so we didn't even try.

The Big Cats

I was bummed that there were 3 Cougars and all of them were sleeping and very difficult to see or photograph.  I definitely thought it was cool that they have 3 lionesses.  Unfortunately I couldn't grab a good picture of the male lion.  I LOVED watching the Cheetahs interact!  So fun!
