San Diego Zoo pics

Was going to post this in the Meetings thread but thought more people would see them here. The day before the party I visited the zoo with Sara and Gini.

Forgive me but I can't remember any of the panda's names. This is Momma. She was sleeping in the funniest position. That's a tree branch in her armpit.

That's it. I took lots of other pictures of big cats but it was through wire fences and they didn't turn out very well.

Awwww!! Look at that baby panda! A fluffy ball asleep in a tree! How do they do that? Great photos of everybody. So glad you had such a good time. :D

Those are great, all of them! Great pictures of the human animals, too. ;) Very pretty ladies...

Awwwww those pictures are adorable.I wish we had a local zoo :(

Oh Slick it does look like you Gini and Sara had a great day together and the pictures are wonderful! I especially love the pandas and the koala...too cute!

Looks like yous had a great time, how could you not at the SD zoo. I love that zoo it really is wonderful and BIG! lol

They didn't have the silver polar bear when I was there. ~~pouts~~ :p

I've heard about the San Diego Zoo all of my life. It's undoubtedly one of the most highly acclaimed zoos in the country. I can see why. It's absolutely beautiful. Those pictures are fantastic. I bet you ladies had a wonderful time too :)

I'm so jealous! One day I'd love to go to the San Diego zoo. I'm glad you got a chance to visit it.

Slick I finally managed to find the panda pics I told you about. The video I have actually shows her moving around playing but I have no way to get it onto the computer so hopefully these will do...

These are pics taken a few years ago now of the San Diego zoo's first panda, I managed to get lucky and get in I think about a month before the general public so I got some really good pics. The last 2 were taken by a friend during her trip to China..
