Up Close and Personal @ Mogo Zoo

One of the highlights of our trip last weekend was a visit to the Mogo Zoo.


It was unlike any other zoo I've visited.

There was a red panda.
 His coat was in the process of shedding.


There were several giant tortoises.


 

We passed by the otters during feeding time.


This otter got a big fish.


This one managed to get two.


I thought the emperor tamarin looked distinguished with his beard.


I picked up the camera when we met the giraffes.


What a joy to have a zoom lens.


I could not help but think that Sister Deer would have loved this zoo.


The zebra were roaming quietly.

 

The lioness and the lion were in a big enclosure together.



The white handed gibbon enjoyed posing.


The rhinoceros was all alone.


I think this was a squirrel monkey.
It seemed keen on getting something from outside its cage.
It would pick up a long stick or a branch, sneak it through the wire,
then scratch intently at the ground. 


MacGyver and I took quite a number of pictures of the silvery gibbons.
It was fun to watch them swing across the ropes.


I was particularly amazed at their furry bottoms.
It spoke heaps of how the animals in this zoo were cared for.


Check out this beautiful tiger,
