Baby flamingos. Though seeing adult flamingos in a zoo setting just isn't as cool as seeing them in the wild...
2-headed kingsnake
Meerkats are so cute. Though I'm told they bite.
Okapi butt. I'm not sure whether I like their amazing giraffe-like tongues better, or their fantastic stripey legs.
Sleepy lioness
Tufted capuchin wants the seedpod (he did get it).
Woodland kingfisher
Southern bald ibis and ferruginous ducks
My hand and a chimpanzee handprint
Malayan tigers
Malayan tapir
Mom and calf
The line to see the giant pandas.
Red panda.
Gaogao. Father of five of the six pandas born at SD Zoo.
The most recent was born just a few days ago!
Dragon
Southern warthog
Monkey king
Yun Zi
White-faced whistling duck - was right by the fence, making cute little noises
Saddlebill stork
Takin - there are several (including several half-grown calves) along the panda line's path.
Yes, I went through the line again an hour or two later.
Silvered leaf monkey - these guys have two exhibits next to each other (I could see a pass-through door between them) that I'm guessing they switch between to give them more entertainment.
Sloth bear
Grizzly bear
Buergers' tree kangaroo
Royal antelope - less than a foot tall!
I have no idea what this bird is - it is not a quail or a turaco, which are what the exhibit was labelled.
Walk toward the back of this elephant and...
Secretary birds are so cool
Jaguar cubs - 3 months old. Yesterday, they were sleeping. Today, they were playing. Just like kittens!
Bontebok - love that white face.
My feet hurt now. I also want a better camera (especially the ability to manual focus... because autofocus keeps focussing on the cage, and not the animal). Tomorrow, the Safari Park!
