The meerkats will never cease to be my favorites. I would totally have hopped right over the fence, scooped one right up, stuck him in my purse and carried him home - if not for the fact that he just might bite the hec out of my hand.

I've decided that flamingos are some of the most photogenic animals out there. Graceful, and experts on posing.

When we walked up to the elephant exhibit, S pointed and shouted, "Look at the tall big one!"

    Lovely photos...and it looks like you had a lovely day. Meerkats always remind me of Timon from The Lion King. :] It's so adorable to see the wonder on faces of little kids as they watch exotic animals. I adore that last black and white shot of yours...classic. <3

    I love the picture of the flamingo with it's head in the water. Our FAVE exhibit now is the baby giraffe. Molly could sit for hours watching it :)
