Got to stay after hours at the Zoo this weekend, it was very relaxing, and fun.
A lot of the animals were taking their early evening naps by this point. It made for some fun picture taking.
wild dogs- so beautiful!
so excited- the felines are getting much better
(larger) enclosures with the Zoo's next renovation phase.
ANNNND my personal favorites.
And now the BABIES!!!!
Camouflage at it's best!
Correct me if I'm wrong, I think this older baby is "Pongo" - born Feb 15 (though he might be the other older one, Timber...blah)
And our newest giraffe is "Blizzard"! - born March 27 during a blizzard. This was the best photo I could get before my camera died.
ETA: I forgot to add, the most SPECTACULAR happening- We were serenaded for upwards of 15min by the Arctic Wolf pack. All lying down in their bedding outside, just around dusk. It was just magical. The alpha female had a more metallic voice than I would expect, and got a bit of a vibrato going on the end of some of her howls. Words can't describe how neat it was.
Annnnd my new hat and sarong.
(I usually have bangs, bleh.)
