The final sweep of the zoo was to head back into its heart
and visit the majority of African Bovines and Lions. (There is an exception of Australian Kangaroos and
Emus.) In fact, the final exhibit
was the African Lion habitat.
Having arrives at 9 AM and it now being half past 4 PM, the fact that
the Lions were not hanging out in the visible areas of their habitat was just
something I could not be overly concerned about. Every zoo is a crap-shoot. You have to embrace the things you see and not worry about
the ones you do not.
By now I should be turning these images into an animal
identification quiz for my friends!
Two
Lesser Kudu,
Tragelaphus imberbis, does.
A somewhat shy, Common
Eland, Taurotragus oryx.
Members of a very contented herd of
Eastern Mountain Bongo,
Tragelaphus
eurycerus isaaci.
It was so fiesta time all
over the zoo now! One of two very sleepy Cheetahs, Acinonyx jubatus.
Some of the members of a troop of
Red Kangaroos,
Macropus
rufus, who were also all conked out!
The
Emu,
Dromaius novaehollandiae, was still strutting.
This little wild rabbit was a "volunteer"
inhabitant of the Denver Zoo. Some member of the Western Cottontail species, I
suppose!
Southern African
Cape Buffalo,
Syncerus caffer.
A lazy, lovely Spotted
Hyena, Crocuta crocuta. Doesn't it have a beautiful face?
