Last Thursday, My Fella and I went to The Little Zoo That Could. To read about how the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo got that nickname, check out my previous two blog posts. And for a quick description of what you're seeing just hover your mouse over each pic:
This final Gulf Coast Zoo post starts with a big batch of cute, in the form of African servals. Servals are a medium sized tiger cat, weighing only 15 to 40 pounds.
The two young servals (below) were born at the zoo at the end of August and you can see here how much they look like baby kittens.
These little guys were snuggling in the sun and wouldn't turn around, but they were adorable even from the back.
The Bengal tiger has the best hair of the bunch in that shot.
I just shaved My Fella's head so he's hairless. And I am waaay overdue for a Nice 'n Easy root touch-up. Some shampoo wouldn't hurt either.
Mr Barbary Lion was only yawning here, but My Fella and I did hear him roar at one point. The roar echoed clear across the small zoo so I can't imagine how loud it would've been up close.
It actually sounded like he had escaped and was stalking nearby humans. When we heard the huge roar, I turned and ran towards it to try see him - while My fella started speed walking in the opposite direction. You decide who has more common sense in our relationship :)
The Little Zoo That Could is a pretty spectacular place and has the best collecion of big cats I've ever seen in such a small zoo. Or any zoo.
5 enthusiastic paws out of 5 for the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo.
Great pictures of this neat zoo. Hubby and I went to Reid Park in Tucson and really enjoyed our visit there. I just haven't gotten around to showing our pictures on our blog yet.
Hot, humid here today but went golfing anyway. Dave and Wanda are here again. I was on Dad's team and we came in on -1. Big Jim and the Mexican dr team came in at -6. But I hear he's a scratch golfer so I can understand how they did so good. It was lots of fun greeting old friends from last year. 49 golfers out today. Looking forward to Ladies day on Wednesday, yippee.
Was our 40th anniversary today, btw.lol.
