19 degrees








Before hitting the Tropics Trail, we spent some time at the snow monkey exhibit. We're not sure we noticed this seemingly very pregnant snow monkey before.













I loved this shot of the two white-cheeked gibbons together (Tia is the buff colored female; Bailey, the black male).







I hadn't realized that these plants were food for the gibbons.



It's hard to get a good picture of the Matschie's tree kangaroo through the mesh around his exhibit (plus, we don't seem to catch him awake very often), which makes my standard for getting video of him pretty low.








The red panda was awake, but he or she refused to turn around for any of the zoo-goers around us.

Allie and I wondered whether the zookeepers hide snacks for the Visayan warty pigs around the walls of the exhibit.

The baby agoutis we saw last week are getting bigger.

On the Minnesota Trail, we caught this puma itching his face against this tree.

Lots of the animals, like this Canada lynx, were catching naps in the sun.

Today's selfie comes from the Northern Trail. Here are Allie and me with one of the bactrian camels.

We learned today, that our spotting of the brown bear awake last week wasn't rare. The bears are fed every day. It was fun seeing them by the water. In my last post, I thought it'd be fun to make your own version of Brown Bear, Brown Bear, by Eric Carle. Reading the original would be appropriate after seeing the bears up and about!
