As promised, here are some pictures from today's zoo visit. I haven't had time to put them into a movie.
The macaws got a special treat -
ice lollies with walnuts in.
They could hardly wait for the keepers to put them out
and kept dive-bombing them.
The new male gorilla, Kesho, has arrived.
He is gradually being introduced to the ladies.
He is a fine specimen.
He entertained us by shitting into his hand...
...then eating it.
Abi was sleeping alongside her cubs.
She looks to have a couple of shaved areas on her front legs.
One seems to be where a wound has been tended to,
the other from a drip or anaesthetic.
Even at 26 months, the cubs remain good friends.
Yes. Thank you for the gorilla shots. Ew ew ew ew ew ew . lol
ReplyDeleteBeautiful birds and cats though!
Aww...the cubs are so cute! And that gorilla reminds me of one I saw at the Honolulu Zoo when I was a child. It threw it's feces at us. Generally, I stay away from the primates. lol
ReplyDeleteYes, a monkey through his feces at my father at a zoo once, just as a bird flew over him and crapped on his head. LOL.
ReplyDeleteI should have just skipped to the cute cubs, LOL.
ReplyDeleteThis gorilla is... interesting! Bon appétit!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots, Val!
ReplyDeleteI always love the bird shots. ☺
ReplyDeleteI love how they have to put a sign up to tell people not to bang on the glass. I think if you do that, you should get put on the other side out of principle. Great pictures!
ReplyDeletebeautiful pics val - they should wash kesho's mouth out with soap and water LOL
ReplyDeleteWildcats are just adorable.
