A trip to the Zoo
Yesterday, with the weather being very nice, Nae and I went to the Zoo. Now, unlike many zoos, the Cincinnati Zoological and Botanical Gardens is in the middle of the city and land-locked. No real room for growth. But it is the home of CREW and is focused on Endangered Wildlife. For a good example of what I mean, most zoos have lions and tigers, right? But the Cincinnati Zoo made a big deal when it got Lions several years ago. In part because they are White Lions, though not albino. And they aren't exactly pure white:
Unfortunately, the sun wasn't totally cooperating with giving me great conditions for my camera but we did happen to catch the Cheetahs at feeding time:
Here they are, pacing as they wait for their food.
There were birds:
A Curtiousity filled elephant and, of course, the class clowns:
He's actually drinking water, letting it trickle down his fingers into his mouth, but doesn't it look like he's responding to someone saying something stupid?
Ah well, more pics if you click on the pictures. But now tis time for work.
Peace, gentle readers.
