Cheetah Cubs

These cheetahs are probably slightly past “Cub” stage, but Cheetah Cub sounds so much better than Cheetah Juveniles. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

This post is for my cousin Sarah, who wanted pictures of Cheetah Cubs. :)

Tapirs

One of my favorite animals, (I seem to have a lot of those… :) ) is the tapir. It is a rather odd looking animal found in rainforests. It looks kind of like a pig, but it has a snout that looks like a little tiny trunk. Unfortunately they always seem to be sleeping when I am at the zoo, so I don’t have a very good variety of pictures of them.

 

 

 

This last one is of a different species of Tapir. It is all dark brown compared to the white and black ones above.

Hopefully someday one of them will have a baby that I can photograph, because baby tapirs are incredibly cute. Their hair pattern is completely different than their parents, sort of like a deer fawn. Think of Bambi, only as a tapir.

@ The Zoo #1

Quite often when I go to the zoo, I get a lot of pictures where I may only have one or two good ones of a particular kind of animal, not enough to do a whole post on them. I also take pictures of different things around the zoo, buildings, plants, etc, which really don't fit into an animal post. Because of this, I think I will start a semi-regular feature, where I post pictures of a variety of animals, and I‘ll entitle the feature as I have this one, “@ The Zoo”. Here are today’s.

Jellyfish

Since I am trying to make this blog just slightly more professional than my personal blog, I successfully resisted the urge to entitle this post. “Peanut Butter.” I was not, however, successful in resisting the urge to tell you I WANTED to entitle it peanut butter. :) So, since this particular post is already failing to be professional, I’ll just add my favorite Jellyfish related quote. :)

Just FYI, none of these pictures have been through Photoshop, or any other editing software. They just look this cool all on their own.

I totally “Less than Three” this last picture. :)

Boomslang

Okay, I’ll admit it. This post exists only because I love the name of these snakes so much I thought they deserved their own blog post. Let’s say it again! Boomslang!
