San Diego Zoo!
All photos taken by me.
(Just thought I 'd throw that in) : )
One of the tigers out walking around.
This picture was taken 9/29/2001.
The tiger came right up against the glass, and
shortly after this picture was taken he laid down
in the cool water. Funny, I thought cats didn't
like water???

The San Diego Zoo has three Chinese Panda Bears:
Shi Shi, Bai Yun and Hua Mei. Bai Yun gave birth to
Hua Mei on August 21, 1999 at the San Diego Zoo. This is
Shi Shi taking a nap in the shade of trees at the new Panda
exhibit.

I'm not sure what kind of wild cat this is, but it's
slightly larger than your typical house cat. In this
picture there was a small bird (I drew a circle 'cause
the bird's so small) and this cat was about to pounce on
it for lunch. About 8 people stood silent waiting for the
cat to jump.

When the cat finally pounced, the bird took off and escaped
the fate of being a menu item. At least for the time being...

The next several pictures are of two Polar Bear cubs
playing around in their pool.

This Rhino appears to have finished his meal,

Another wild cat, this one looks very similar to
ordinary house cats, but has slightly longer legs in
proportion to his body. His meow (or yowl) was much deeper
in tone than house cats.

Koala napping time. Seems to be the case every time I
see them at the zoo.
