Zoo photography

reannon alerted us to the fact that there are baby Amur tigers at the zoo. The zoo's female Amur tiger had a litter of five cubs on April 28, 2008. They've just started being out on exhibit in the last week or two.

DAMN!

I knew we should have gone over to the cat area! Moosie and I were just there on Sunday, but on the other end of the Zoo! We did have a couple of new experiences for me--the cheetah was rolling in the grass like a kitten, which I've never seen before, and one of the puffins was playing in the water so vigorously that it looked like a windup toy. It scooted back and forth in the water, hurtling out of the water and times, and splashing people. It seemed to be having a really good time, and even came down to the end to look at me when I said "Do it again!", then obliged by going through the whole madness another two times. The cheetah business was wonderful, as that cat is really reclusive. I swear I heard her purring.

I do wish I'd seen those new babies, though.
