Discovering the Houston Zoo

It's been a while since I've posted, so here's a few photos I like from our trip to Houston Zoo.

After dealing with many a chilly day, we were treated to a nice mild sunny day. We decided to take advantage of it and go to the zoo.

This is a silly monkey but I forgot to take a look at the plaque. If anyone can identify him, I would appreciate it.

A Pygmy Marmoset, ruminating over the big questions in life:

These guys were just hanging around, so I decided to take a shot:

The proudest meerkat I could find:

This giraffe has the right idea when it comes to nasal hygiene:

This cheetah had a powerful gaze:

A relaxing Anegada Island Iguana:

The captivating Cocodrilo Cubano:

The deadly King Cobra. He probably just wants to be left alone:

Rhinoceros Iguana. I don't see the resemblance.

Two affectionate Asian Climbing Toads. How sweet:

A tragic Mandrill contemplating his freedom:

An adorable orangutan. They can be so expressive:

Finally, a cute bunny rabbit. He actually snuck into the zoo.

I had a lot of fun taking these but I don't get the same amount of satisfaction as when I find an animal to photograph in the wild. It just seems too easy. Doesn't mean I'm gonna stop so stay tuned for more in the future!
