Cheyenne Mountain Zoo

I took advantage of the beautiful weather today and spent some time at our local zoo. It is absolutely incredible...a must see for everyone who comes to Colorado Springs!


One of our two hippos - the other was inside swimming in her pool.


Mom & Dad gorilla just hanging out.



Baby gorilla was nearby - couldn't decide whether it should stay inside or go outside.


This orangutan had the right idea - a picnic lunch out in the sunshine.



The turkeys were being annoyed by a woman just standing there gobbling at them!



A porcupine in a tree. I didn't know they climbed trees!


A mountain lion that was not too happy being inside an enclosure...



Two grizzly bears playing in the water - there were large fish in the water that I was hoping a bear would try and catch while I was standing there...



All wet from his quick bath!



Bald eagle in the grizzly enclosure.



This peacock was hiding on top of a wall...but I still found it.



A kangaroo just kind of hanging around.



One of our three elephants scratching himself on a post.



Naptime for the monkeys.


Our newest baby giraffe and its Mommy.



How do you do?



Very well, thank you!



Giraffe crackers are so delicious!

Poles come in handy for itchy faces.
