Omaha Zoo Animals

We went to the Omaha Zoo on Friday and we couldn't have asked for a better day. The weather was perfect and the animals were all very active. This bear in particular decided to put on a show for anyone that would watch. We were literally as far away as the camera shows. You could almost reach out and touch him if you so choose to do so. In fact Brendan almost did just that. He decided it would be fun to climb the fence and get a closer look while the rest of us were focused in him on solid ground. He was promptly told to hop down by 3 or 4 of us. Ain't he cute and oh so cuddly...There was another black bear down below putting on another show. He stood next to a log sharpening his claws over and over and waving on occasion. I have a little video and if I can figure out how to post it I will. ;)
I never knew how cute and sweet Lemurs could be until I met this little guy. In the picture you can see Brian's phone, Jumpy is what we'll call him, was fascinated with it. Until, that is, I came along! Hehe. I decided to brave it and I stuck my hand up to the cage to see what he would do...As soon as my fingers touched his fur Jumpy turned his body and pushed it up to the cage and then turned his head around with longing eyes just waiting for a more complete massage. He was so cute and friendly and just sat there taking in all the petting/massage he could get. Hmmmm, I just might have to buy a Lemur instead of a dog next time. ;)

Well, that's it for now...more pictures of people to come! :D Have a great rest of the week to all that actually still visit here! Whoever you faithful few might be. God bless!
