This large statue of a bug gave me the heebie jeebies. Good thing real bugs aren’t this big.
This little guy was chilling on this branch which made the perfect opportunity for a photo.
Wearing a brilliant shade of green, this guy was coiled up precariously on a branch.
A sneaky little guy hides among the leaves of his enclosure.
Dragons are real and this one was taking a little too much interest in the people around his enclosure.
I love the little beady eyes this snake has.
With a very appropriate name, this guy is undoubtably a legless lizard.
This non-venomous guy is doing his best impression of his venomous counterpart, the Eastern Coral Snake. Remember, red touches yellow will kill a fellow, but red touches black is a friend of Jack.
Unlike his aptly named relative, this lizard does indeed have his legs.
Just a couple of pelicans take a well deserved break in their enclosure on a hot day.
These pink birds looked much better than they smelled.
A very dramatic shot of a lorikeet perched on a fence.
It’s easy to see where this colorful bird gets its rainbow moniker from.
I’ve been told that this Red Lory is named Rose. It’s a great name for a very red bird.
The white plumage of this snowy owl helps it blend into the snowy environment. It even makes its nest in on the ground in the snow.
While this bird certainly looks black, when the light hits it just right it reveals a wonderful collection of colors hidden in its feathers.
This duck certainly looks like it’s seen some stuff.
This goose looks much nicer than its Canadian cousins.
Blue and brown make for a striking combination on this little bird.
If not friend, why friend shaped?
It seemed like this guys was watching us just as much as we were watching him.
I think this hippo was having a little nap underwater.
I was very lucky that this little fellow decided to look directly at me for his picture.
The mud on this elephant helps keep him cool while he enjoys his snack.
Even though they look cool, Zebra are notoriously foul tempered.
This ferocious lion was letting her presence be known.
Chilling in the shade of a tree, this lion was taking a break from the mid afternoon sun.
Just look at those giant majestic horns on this guy.
By far, the most chill animal at the zoo this day.
Looking out over their enclosure, this giraffe has the best view in the entire zoo.
Quite literally a living tank.
Looks like I disturbed his lunch.
I sometimes forget that these guys can swim.
I love the intense look in this tiger's eyes.
His brilliant blue plumage puts the other birds to shame.
Look at the claws on this macaw!
