Minnesota Zoo - Cuttlefish, Macaques, Otters

[guppiecat]

More from the recent Minnesota Zoo set.




Cuttlefish (Sepiida) - Not so much an Elder god as a very very young one.


Japanese Macaque (Macaca fuscata) - "What the heck did they put in here now?"


Japanese Macaque (Macaca fuscata) - "Shhh, he has no idea what's coming."


Japanese Macaque (Macaca fuscata) - Running to individual mommies in 3... 2... 1...


Japanese Macaque (Macaca fuscata) - Airplanes are overrated.


Japanese Macaque (Macaca fuscata) - Jujutsu practice.


Japanese Macaque (Macaca fuscata) - Step 1, up the tree. Step 2, over the wall. Step 3, take over stock market... humans are making a mess of things.


Sea Otter (Enhydra lutris) - Before they go home at night, the zookeepers have to remember to turn off the sprinkler otters. (Better viewed large.)


Sea Otter (Enhydra lutris) - Otter art from the 70s looks interesting, but makes no sense out of context.


Sea Otter (Enhydra lutris) - "I has a abalone, (clap clap clap), I eats my abalone, (clap clap clap)..."


Sea Otter (Enhydra lutris) - "o/~ My abalone has a first name, it's H A L I O T I S! My abalone has a second name, it's R U F E S C E N S! o/~"

My cuttlefish were not successful.

I love the young macaque dropping, and there are some nice sea otters.

I was back yesterday testing a 1.7x teleconverter on my 70-200, there should be some more macaques and a camel and some prairie dogs (and a Norska who somehow got in there with them).

Where do you post your photos? Is there an RSS feed I should be following?

[dd-b.livejournal.com]

I've got a "real photos" page and a "snapshots" page, and I sometimes but not always post about them on my blog, and my blog is syndicated on LJ as ddb_net. There's a direct RSS from the blog, and there's a new snapshots RSS (bottom of the page), but no new "real photos" RSS.

Sometimes I think this scheme is more complicated than is strictly ideal.

OK, I've subscribed to the subscribables. I guess I missed them the first time around. Sorry. I'm looking at the photos now.
