Cuties and Scaries

They have a new contributor to the Animals in Action show at the zoo. They have animals doing what comes naturally, though of course safely trained so that they don't do a disappearing act.
Here he is - a burrowing owl. Isn't he a sweetie?





The otters were enjoying the late summer sunshine.

This one fell asleep inside a hollow tree trunk. Aaahh...

After his long, repeated and VERY intimidating roaring session, the lion settled back down.
His girlfriend came and tried to get on his good side.

    Oh, my God, the otters are so cute! And so is the little burrowing owl.

    I used to have a pretty scary picture of a lion up close, but I lost it when my computer died. I love the zoo.
