Theme: The National Zoo
some of these are more artistic
some aren't
just thought i'd post with some pictures I took at the zoo in D.C.
!
1.
bizarre ...such creatures we share the earth with
2.
this is the most horrifying thing! it sits there completely still like a rock, and part of its tongue mimics a worm. this attracts poor unassuming fish so it can then CHOMP down with its massive scary jaws.
3.
Randall the giraffe! He came in to strut around a bit, and eat.
4.
bashful. sometimes, it would be convenient to have a portable hiding place
5.
my neen likes dinosaurs. here she is being eaten by a tyrannosaurus.
6.
electric organic aquatic ...the spark of life comes in infinite shapes
7.
gharials are also curious things. info about gharials: they are, the second largest of all surviving crocodilians, and catch fast moving fish with their long thin snout.
8.
the emperor newt
9.
Anaconda! ohh they're huge amazing animals
10.
and finally, a panda. This is the male, Tian Tian, the zoo also had a female, Mei Xiang, and her baby, Tai Shan. it was exciting to see them, Tian Tian just kept eating bamboo. I couldn't get as close to the mom and baby so my pictures aren't that great, but they were adorable. Tai Shan was trying to play the whole time, and climbing things and being clumsy and falling.
