But we had a good time. Ranking high in our favorites is the wolves. They get a bit more of our attention thatn the other animals. Today we got to talk to the keeper of the wolves and learned that the wolves that they have currently are expected to have pups in the fall. The two that they have are 2 of 50 in the nation. They are very very close to exstinction. So they are excited to have some pups and they will be released into the wild as soon as they can be pulled from the parents.
Here are a few that have been processed from today....

Thanks!! Visit your zoo! Not to sound like a dork but, They need your support. I would hate for some of these animals to not be around for my kids to enjoy!

Oh if only I could sit in that snow or ice. It was 100 degrees here today. The wolves are very nice and I like the pose of the sea lion. That first polar bear shot is good as well. You really stopped the action well. Nice captures. :thumb
