guppiecatEvery summer, I stop by the Red River Zoo and take shots that they use in their marketing for the next year. This year, due to my move to Minnesota, processing those photos took a LOT longer than usual and I just finished this weekend. The set is here.
Pallas Cat - There was a ground squirrel in there. Much excitement.
Pallas Cat - There was a birdie up there. Much excitement.
Pallas Cat - There was a photographer out there. Meh.
Slender Tailed Meerkat - Just 'cause they have slender tails doesn't mean that they're not tubby.
Slender Tailed Meerkat - Remember, when choosing a partner, it is very important to find someone that supports you.
Slender Tailed Meerkat - Love. This is what it looks like.
(You know, if you're a flexible mongoose with an ADHD problem.)
Tanuki - Yep. I got me a tanuki tongue. Bet you're jealous.
Red Panda - I also got a red panda tongue!
When being chased like this, water is the only safe place. Rocks can't swim.
(Well, OK, most rocks can't.)
Mmmm, venison.
Russian Red Squirrel - Based on their colour, you call tell that they taste like dreamsicles.
Russian Red Squirrel - Mmm, corn.
Black Tailed Prairie Dog - Bless you, my son.
The little fuzzy rocks are actually ducks.
It took this little guy hours to fill the pond one drop a time from his bill.
Silly birdie, Kix are for trids.
Nothing clever to say here. I just really like what the water did to the pupil.
Anchors away!
Blanding's Turtle - Can you believe that this guy gets a whole turtle to himself?
Wolf - Did you know that bats and wolves are both mammals?
Amazon Milk Treefrog - Moss only grows on the North side of the frog.
Llama - This is what the people on the other side of the phone look like when you explain that security is not point-in-time, but requires good operations and thought to succeed.

And now I wish we had Pallas Cats at the Detroit Zoo.

I don't think the first Pallas Cat one stands up to the rest of the set; the face is too shadowed and obscured to work well for me (though you need it for the sequence of captions).

Date: 2012-02-13 08:18 pm (UTC)I didn't have time (or rather, attention span) to actually look at the whole set, but I will go back later and do that.

I think the second & third pallas cat shots are the best photos, but I love the red panda tongue and the roly wolf is actually my favourite because you can't see anything but legs :)
