The Giraffe's Many Moods

I made a trip to the MN Zoo this past weekend and took a few pics. The Africa exhibit is finally open for the summer and with it brings many wonderful animals including ... the Giraffe. You can actually feed the Giraffes this year up close and personal.

Enjoy the Giraffe's many moods ... and a few more pics.

Beware ... THE CLAW!!

Walk with the Animals

Looks like its been a while since I last posted up. So I've got some new material (mainly pics).

With this past weekend came a nice warm break to old man winter's frozen death grip on our Minnesotan climate. We are talking 40 degree weather folks ... a HEAT WAVE!! So my girlfriend and I got out to the MN Zoo (being members) to watch the animals and also enjoy the warmer temps.

I love the MN Zoo and every time I go I feel like a kid again ... and I can't help but take a zillion photos. The highlight on this zoo adventure would have to be the leopards in the new Russian exhibit. (Side note - If you haven't been to the new Russian exhibit to see the Grizzly Bears you are missing out.) However, every time I walk by the leopards they are always either asleep or just laying there bored. This time was different ... they were chasing after each other, pouncing all over the place and playing. It made for a much more enjoyable experience and better photos.

Below are a few pics of the latest MN Zoo adventure. Enjoy!










Watch out for ATTACK TURTLE!!!
