Monarto Zoo - 150 posts!

This post marks our 150th one! That is quite a few, and I think Cam has authored only 1. I'm not complaining purely explaining we've hit a milestone. MaryEd, Tony, Cam, Nevlin & I all got to the Montaro Zoo & it was quite a fun time. The day was cold, so keeping to the bus was the perfect solution. Here's Nev checking out all the lions and their cubs.

The females and cubs were hanging right near the bus. The guys got to chill out in another fenced location. The women kept guard & just after this shot they saw something on the other side of the bus & pounced.

This shot was taken without either Tony or MaryEd without them knowing. I like how Tony always knows which is his hat.

Montaro Zoo is a really big zoo with very open areas full of one or more type of animals. This one had buffalo on it, making me think of Massachusetts where I used to pass a buffalo farm regularly while at university.

Finally, what trip to the zoo would be complete without a baby animal. This one was born about a year ago and we missed the birthday by about a week. I love that it was so cold that one monkey is under the tarp to the right and the baby is sitting between these two adults.

NEVLIN has hit over the 9kg mark, that makes him about 20lbs! Perfect, if he was a turkey.
