Lions, Tigers and Bears

For my Camera Critters I am showing some of the critters hubby and I saw while visiting the Smithsonian National Zoo in DC.  


Some of my favorite critters at the zoo, the Panda bears, monkeys, orangutans, elephants and the tigers.






One of this zoo's big atttraction is the Panda Bears and the lions cubs were on my list of animals to see. I wanted to see how much they have grown since our last visit. They have grown a lot and all 7 cubs are doing well.




Below the Prairie Dog is looking a little chubby but not as big as the elephant. The Orangutan was climbing the tower while we were there and I love the meerkat's pose for me. I enjoyed seeing the Howler Monkey but it was much nice seeing them wild  in  Costa Rica .

I hope you enjoyed my critters from the Smithsonian National Zoo and to see more cute and wonderful critters please visit Camera Critters. Thanks to Misty Dawn for hosting this fun critter meme. Also, thank you for visiting my post. I hope everyone have a safe and happy weekend.

    It's so long since I've gone there.
    You got some great captures!
    I will say your photos show a much nicer place than I remember.
    Love the panda and cubs!

    Some of them are big critters. I'd love to see a Panda. I wonder what the orangutan is contemplating.

    Fun pictures.

    Is it time to start a link list?

    Not only is that dog fat it looks like he's got an attitude as well.

    I love how completely un-zoo-like your pictures are. They all look as if you were on safari (or hiking around in Colorado, in the case of the prairie dogs!).
