More from the Winnipeg Zoo set. (I'm going to call it "The Winnipeg Zoo", because I can pronounce that. Apparently the zoo is named for the park, which is named for the river, which is named for the people, which are also known as Asiniibwaan, which means "Stone Sioux", which is not how they referred to themselves, which was Hohe Nakota, which I can pronounce.) Today is for owls. Owls are known for knowing things, but it must be noted that while all owls know things, all owls are not all knowing.

| Assiniboine Park Zoo - Bears |
[Nov. 18th, 2009|07:09 pm] |
Every year, after the Winnipeg Folk Festival, I head over the local Winnipeg Zoo that goes by the odd name of "Assiniboine Park" for some reason. I really need to start doing it before the festival, as I tend to be too exhausted to really do a good job of after. Anyway, here are the photos.

You know that trip where a bunch of us went to the Minnesota Zoo and took photos? Well I've finished processing them and slapped a few captions on here and there. The set is here.

| Cheetah Purr |
[Nov. 6th, 2009|04:33 pm] |
When I went to the Greater Vancouver Zoo, I happened to walk by the cheetah enclosure while the cheetah was doing something unusual. I didn't get a good photo... but that's because my dinky little carry-around camera also does video. While I'm not a great videographer, you can mostly hear the purr over the wind noise.
(Video is 16s long, and hopefully embedded OK. Never done a flickr video before.) |

| Red River Zoo |

I go to the Red River Zoo twice a year. Once on the way to Winnipeg. Once on the way back from Winnipeg.
The wolves have grown up, and the kids in Fargo are now made out of spun sugar, but other than that, things are much the same. The set is here.

| Minnesota Zoo - |

I went to the Minnesota Zoo in June, and I'm just now getting to posting the photos. On the down side, sorry I'm so behind on my zoo photos. On the plus side, aren't you glad to get content that isn't just the deranged ravings of a pangolin obsessive? :)
This was just a general walkabout, but seems to have a few more birds than usual. This may have something to do with it being during summer and my having a 400mm lens with me. The set is here.
