We are in the throes of a wintry storm which is apparently dumping large amounts of snow on the skifields in the South Island mountains. I'm certainly not going outside looking for critters!
Instead, here are some of my favourite critters, from a summer visit to Auckland zoo:
I've always loved giraffes, so prettily marked and so graceful.

I also love girafffes. Did you know that they have the same number of bones in their neck as we do?
ReplyDeleteI have a soft spot for zebras too. And ostrich.
Thanks Alexia. I hope they have some heating for them at the zoo...
Aww, a cute baby giraffe, too!

They are a favorite of mine too! For the most part quite friendly here in our Zoo in Apple Valley! A few years back we were allowed to feed them and they ate their food morsels out if an ice cream cone! Seriously!
ReplyDeleteThat should be out of an ice cream cone! My fingers are too large for this tiny phone keyboard! :)
DeleteThat little one chomping on the tree is adorable. Good critters you got there.
ReplyDeleteCritters is not a word I hear often here in Canada, though Canadian Carmi has used it! Love the giraffes, they are adorable and the photos a great! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteLove those giraffes! They look so graceful with those lovely long necks! And the Zebras - amazing how the stripes are such good camouflage in their native surroundings. Lovely shots!
ReplyDeleteSplendid shots of a magnificent animal, I'm always amazed by that sinuous neck. Critter of the week for me.
