The Zoo is Full of People
This last Sunday was one of the free admission when you bring in expired phonebooks days. Needless to say, we went. Good news is that I took my camera, the bad is that one best the best pictures is one Rob took and I hate him for that. As I said before, this zoo is great, the animals have it good here.

The Cheetah posed for us this time. I missed the photo op with two of them together though. Be sure to click on them for larger pictures.
One of the jaguars. This was the one I stared down last visit. Staring into the eyes of a jaguar is very unnerving.
Rob stalks his prey of choice....small humans.
The other Jaguar sleeping about 15 feet in the air.
This Colobus Monkey was sad because it wasn't on the ledge with all the cool Colobus Monkies.
Giraffes. The little one was born in July. Last time we were here it was peeking over the fence, trying to be friends with a Gazelle.
Nice group shot. Giraffes, Elephants and Warthogs. I hope to get some good shots of the warthogs one of these visits. The bull elephant is in musth, so they had to close off the the part where ya get close to them, but maybe there will be babies in the future.
A squirrel and his nut.
Mr. Lion. I hate to admit that Rob gave me the angle. I hate even more to admit that it's a great angle. I would have found it on my own. Really.
Rob is so disappointed. The Rhino's have a big outside bit to go in, but the inside is also open. This guy was playing with a bowling ball.
A penguin! One of them was swimming all around, but didn't want to take a good picture. The penguin room is one of my favorites. I should've taken a wide shot of it.
Mr. River Otter loved having his picture taken. Here he is being coy. He did not steal your fish. He swears.
Here he is again, after not having stolen any fish. He was extremely graceful underwater. One of the zookeepers came by when we were looking at him, and he started jumping around.... Zookeeping would be such a great job.
Stupid Rob. This is one big Snapping Turtle, maybe four feet long. Get a limb stuck in that mouth and say goodbye to it.
This would be mom's favorite part. This little Treesnake is nearly impossible to spot each time.
Love this shot. Kept thinking he was gonna suddenly strike as I was positioning the shot. This is one of the little rattlesnake types they have at the zoo. They have a gigantic Diamondback, but he wasn't photogenic this time. He's HUGE though.
Another Rob shot. Gar are some funny lookin fish.
Mr. Albino Giant Catfish. He came right up to get his picture taken. He is BIG too.
And finally, Mr. Little Turtle. He's just like Puddles, but with four legs and different.
That's not nearly all the animals they have there, but there were some good photos to be had. The big tortoises weren't banging this time, which is sad, because last time it was the highlight of the trip. The tortoise got done, dismounted, let out a big "YEAAAAAHHH" and went to eat for five minutes while the others chased his woman around.

Yeah, the turtles also like to mount a rock that's near them that's in the shape of a turtle's shell...it's gross and awesome all at the same time...last time I went, though, they were hot and miserable...I enjoyed Monkey Island!
