Minnesota Zoo - Gibbons, Fisher, Wolverines

[guppiecat]

Continuing my set from the Minnesota Zoo. Of note is that both wolverines and the fisher are more active in the winter. Even though there are exposure issues with black animals on white snow, I was able to get something better than just balls of fur. In particular, there was a time when a wolverine woke up and stretched like a cat. Then it rolled onto it's back and stretched again. I shared that highlight earlier, but there are two alternate shots here.




White-Cheeked Gibbon (Nomascus leucogenys) - Look, it's a gibbon moon tonight.


White-Cheeked Gibbon (Nomascus leucogenys) - Bet you didn't know that gibbons were into stylitism


White-Cheeked Gibbon (Nomascus leucogenys) - Nothing special to say, I just like the shot.


White-Cheeked Gibbon (Nomascus leucogenys) - When you feel alone and afraid, just hold your lover tight and everything will seem better.


Beaver Pond - sans beaver.


Fisher (Martes pennanti) - Your lifelong dream to see a fisher stick out its tongue at a coyote has just come true. Congratulations.


Fisher (Martes pennanti) - Silly zookeepers put the icing on the wrong side of the fisher.


Wolverine (Gulo gulo) - What's black, brown, pointy, pointy, pointy, pointy, and wet?


Wolverine (Gulo gulo) - What's black, brown, pointy, pointy, pointy, pointy, pointy and pointy?


Wolverine (Gulo gulo) - Do NOT throw snowballs at the wolverines. Really. Bad. Idea.
