 Here's a special type of Warthog. His tusks grow up through his sinus cavities and exit out the top of his snout. |
 Even the smallest fowl display their feathered finery. |
 A speckled beauty. |

A baby
giraffe was born the day after our visit. Weighing in at
over 120 lbs. and standing 6 feet, 1 inch tall, the male
baby giraffe is being raised by The ZOO staff since he
was rejected by his mother, who has a long history of
rejecting her offspring. |
 There's a platform so visitors can go eye-to-eye with the giraffe. |

 Snow Leopard. |
 Lion on pedestal. |
 The White Tiger was asleep, so I lowered my camera and 20mm lens by its strap to take this self-timer photo. |
 We enjoyed a rest and took some flower photos in the Japanese Garden. |
 Linda likes the flowers, I like the spiders... Different strokes for different folks. |

Then we encountered a
wonderful addition to The Zoo - 30 acres of open land
where animals wander in near-freedom. An elevated
boardwalk provides visitors a gorgeous view. There's also
a train ride through the veldt. Continue to the next page for more animals. |
