babies at the zoo...

It's not very often that Troy and I are at the zoo with someone who is capable of taking a picture... Thank you Daniel!! We had such a great time today with Daniel, Miles and Matthew. Thanks boys for going with us! Here are tons of pictures from today's trip, and from other zoo days as well.

Miles, Daniel, and Matthew.
Baby Meerkats

The baby giraffe turned 2 months old today. He is growing very quickly!

The snow leopard is about 4 months old now and he is just so adorable! He gets more and more playful each time we see him. He pounces on his mom's head, paws at the window, pretends to hunt, etc. So cute!
Here he is, ready to pounce...
Mama Snow Leopard
Bosha (sp?) the Amur Tiger recently had 3 little male cubs. They are about 3 months old now and are so cute! Apparently they weighed about 25 pounds at 12 weeks old, and will get up to 500+ pounds. Their Dad is at our zoo also. His name is Kazick (sp?). Awhile back I posted some close-up photos of him. He's huge! Anyway, they think the 3 little guys will be at our zoo until they are about a year and a 1/2 and then they will go to other zoos. Below is Mama with all three cubs (there is one kind of behind her).




This one was experimenting with growling... haha!

Those cubs are too cute. I also really love the baby giraffe. Maybe I should break down and take my kids to the zoo. The babies animals might make it worth it.
