Animal Magic

It was a beautiful sunny day today, so despite waking up late, I couldn't resist going to the zoo. I was very mean with the photography because you've already seen just about everything the place has to offer. But there was a baby Sulawesi Crested Macaque that wasn't born the last time I was there.
















I thought the tiger was looking rather splendid with his big claws hooked into the wood.


Then he rolled over yawning (missed that shot) and opened his eyes just a crack.


They took away this male's old companion as they wanted to introduce a younger model with whom he could breed. Unfortunately they hate the sight of each other.

  1. perhaps they should show that tiger-couple some pix of vincent; just to get in the mood for breeding.

  3. The old male tiger must miss his older and wiser former companion ... proof that not all male animals "trade down" to younger models ... heh-heh.

  4. Aw, poor tiger. It seems the zookeepers think animals have midlife crisis, too?

  5. Baby monkeys definitely make up for eyeball touching!
