Sorry, WordPress does not allow embeding of Flickr video.
I believe this is a Scottish Highland Steer. I hear there is a pig or two in there now.

We can now see Jabari. I was so exciting to finally meet him!!!
I did not know how to be in the picture till someone told me to move the camera to the glass. It was too late to get anymore of these as he went to the hey.

I sure hope they do it again next year, and hopefully more than one!! With more advertising this event should become even more popular! It was nice not having kids at the zoo. Nice and quiet. (ZooMance is 21+ also for the bar by Rackham Fountain.)
I took a ton of pictures, but have to be at work early so I will post them later. I got some new pics and video’s of things I never saw there before and was treated to.
Here are the Male and Female Blue Swallow Tanager’s on the trellace in front of the Chrysalis. Notice all the greenery gone? So tragic it was cut down.
A bunch of new White Morpho’s born and released! Looks like a bunch, come quick! I hear their adult life span is 1 week!
The Camera was on a round standing table with a black table cloth, on the right is one of the tables with umbrellas from by the ZooFari Market. The white tent was where the booze was. Of course, you could walk around too!
The Arctic Fox’s where out digging and kind of playing.
The two Rhino’s in a interesting pose!!
More to come and there are more even better than these!! Stay tuned!!

This cannot really be seen, but the two parrots were further away from me and the came closer to the left and up the tall branch (second picture down) to come visit me. I did talk to them a little, maybe that is why.

I am not sure what these are, but they are pretty much in a line up eating!
I believe this is a Blesbok
Snow Monkey’s sit outside their heating pool!! looks inviting!!
Rarely does a Leemer that’s outside sits long enough and poses for you! 2 other people commented about him posing for me.
The wolverine was nice enough too!!
Kangaroo’s were out enjoying themselves.
The zoo had a visitor today. Some kind of hawk by the Bison.
I have now posted all my pictures from this trip! I will move on to the next. There are a few I left out for a special post coming soon from this visit so stay tuned!!

I was lucky enough to get my camera really close to a still butterfly:
The butterfly was facing backwards so I had to reach around around with my arm. I wish I could have gotten the face better, but I think it is a very nice pic. And thanks to the comment on this photo on Flickr, you know who you are!
I never checked out the room to the left in the Wildlife Interpretive Gallery, after seeing people below the fish tank and was pleasantly greeted by this going in that room.
I also found this very beautiful picture on the wall. You loose some in the photograph
I even found wild coffee growing in the butterfly garden for us coffee lovers!
More butterfly pictures
And one from the aviary: (Scarlet Ibis)
I have more to post, but I do not want to make this too long. I will post again within the next several days, one includes a non-native bird to the zoo.
