My trip to Riverbanks Zoo!

Now for the color photos

She wasn't happy with her stripe

That dang feather!

I'm really a snake

A little closer, please

What?

Don't take my picture!

I'm asleep, lady.

Make the noise stop!

I'm invisible

Ugh

Do you like my hair?

That better be food in your hand, lady.

I like my greens!

CAUTION NEXT FEW PHOTOS ARE NOT FOR THOSE WHO FEAR SNAKES!

You better be glad this glass is between us.

Is that a rat over there?

Keep back, Jack!

You wanna hug?

Small but mighty

I'm not moving. Just try to make me move.

Watch where you step!

I'm the prettiest snake here!

Stick your hand in here.

Take my photo! Take mine! No, take my picture!

Hi! I bet you taste good!

Now on to the fish!

And on to the feathered critters!

Why hello there! Do you like my nose wattle?

Bet I can crack that camera in 30 seconds.

Let me freshen up....

Ah! My feathers are a mess!

Do I look like this?

Are you ticklish?

Do I look fat?

This guy just came out of hibernation and is cranky

I love you very, very much!

Why won't you listen to me?

Oh, don't mind him. He never shuts up.

Wa'Sup?

More birds!

I'm sexy.

I'm the cutest thing in the zoo!

I'M THE CUTEST!

Weeeeeeeeeeee!

Come on in, the water is freezing!

I just pooped.

Who are you?

I'm not in the mood.

And now the human animals:

Stan the Man will be missed.

Thanks! The deluxe habitrail contained some sort of brown and white rodent who was very active in the tunnels but the plastic was so scarred from their teeth I couldn't get a clear photo. I did get this however:

Thanks for looking and thanks for volunteering at the zoo!

Very nice, thanks for sharing once again!

I think I need some goats because despite your lovely pics of all those wonderful exotic animals, the goat was the one I kept going back to!

Count the campfires by glowing flames, never by the ashes that fall. Count your days by the golden hours, don't remember clouds at all. Count the nights by stars, not by shadows. Count your life by smiles, not by tears. And with joy on every birthday, count your age by friends-not years.

Your welcome! These are only a few photos of the 400 or so I snapped. Everyone should visit their local zoo every once in a while.
