Today, the wife and I went to the Memphis Zoo, of which we are members, and we snapped nearly a hundred photos of the current residents. I am only going to bore you with a few of my favorites in this post.
First off, the pride of the Memphis Zoo. Only a handful of zoos around the country are able to afford the costs of “rental” and up-keep of these beautiful animals, we are very lucky that Memphis Zoo is one of them.

Now, I wanna side track you a second before I show you more of the animals. Right outside of the Panda exhibit, there is this Chinese symbol embedded into the ground;

I have no idea what the symbol means, but when I turn the picture on its side, it appears the Chinese may be playing games with profanity!
SH...??
Aaa, who knows – I more than likely am seeing things – my Mom sees faces in clouds, I guess it’s hereditary. Back to some animals!

And here is one that I think makes a GREAT background for your computers monitor :)

Two thirsty warthogs
6ft 3in tall baby giraffe - only one month old.
Memphis Zoo has lions, tigers, bears, and oh yea - cheetahs too!
And lastly, one of our favorites – the polar bears.

Well, I hope you enjoyed them – I have a ton of other Memphis zoo pics I have taken over the past few years, if you liked these then check them out too. The zoo is world class and a must see – when you come, make sure you too bring a camera :)
