It is a zoo out there!

We had a great day. We decided since it was nice that we would go to the Great Plains Zoo and walk. Of course you know me, I had to bring along the camera. A lot of the animals that pretty much just lay around in the spring and summer were out wondering around. It was fun to see!



Callie was the star of the day. She is an Amur Tiger and the only one
that survived in the litter. She was just a hoot, running through
the snow and playing! She seemed starved for human contact as she was
rubbing against the fence and kind of purring when someone would pay
attention to her. What a cutie!

Black Bears

Snow Leopard (first time I had seen it off the rock!)
She or he was watching Callie!


Cheetah


More Cheetahs


Little monkey eating lettuce. He was hard to take a picture of as
they are behind glass in the winter so you get a lot of glare.
