Photo Challenge #16 animals

These pictures are for the photo challenge blog. Some are from the San Diego Zoo and some are from the Sacramento Zoo. The kitty is from my backyard. I hope someday to go to the zoo by myself with my new D300 that I will get soon and spend the day taking some better shots. I have an African Theme in my living room so I would like some good shots to frame. We did go on a Safari at the Kruger National Park and also to another one. I have pictures hanging up from those trips. I however used a film camera then so now I will have do make do with pictures from the zoo until I can get to Africa again. Hope you enjoy these pictures. I had so many more but had to pick just a few. Thanks for stopping by. Sacramento Zoo San Diego My cat has no front claws but she still has her hunting instincts. This was a present she brought for me. We were impressed. San Diego Zoo Sacramento Zoo below
