Y'all haven't heard much from me lately, other than all the family housing disasters.

When bombalurina did a zoo post I realized that I had never even uploaded my pics from the last zoo trip to the server, mostly because that was the downtime for the hard drive replacement.

Ya know, it wouldn't take me so darn long to get them uploaded if the taxonomy geek in me didn't insist on having the scientific name for everything!

We'll start with my favorite subjects at the zoo, the tiger cubs.

Here is Lana:

Amur (Siberian) Tiger Panthera tigris altaica

and Nika:



OK, so I lied about the hot monkey sex (and if you clicked for that, you are a pervert! but I love you anyway...)
Blame stoney321. She is the master of LJ cuts that you know aren't true, but you have to click on them anyway.
So anyhow... More pictures and as always, to see more go to My online gallery. (there's no monkey sex there either...)

Yes, I do like Como's "old man monkeys", but I've been growing quite fond of the insanely difficult to photograph "Shepard Book 'Too Much Hair!' monkeys" at the MN Zoo.

and yeah, tamarins technically not monkeys, but "old man primate" or "old man tamarin" doesn't sound as good!

(You were looking for the hot monkey sex, weren't you? C'mon, you can admit it. I won't tell anyone...)
