I illustrated the painted moose art for the Minnesota SCBWI's Summer field trip to the Zoo. To see the flyer visit http://www.minnesotascbwi.org/ I like to think that after the beaver finishes painting the patient moose, the moose decides to kick the beaver sharply in the be-hind. The paint and the beaver fly into the shallow water. Unfortunately the poor beaver is forced to swim away through a swirl of paint clutching the paintbrush tightly between his two front teeth. The End. In honor of Zoo Day (which I missed, darn it all) I decided to create a HUGE post of animal photos. Have fun at my Zoo!
Corn chips.
This fawn was photographed in Hatfield, WI.
A Howler monkey at Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica.
Standing tough.
Baby
My pet bat...not.

I'm talk'in turkey at Fort Snelling.
Akua
White faced monkey.
Monster Hummer.
It's a Kinkajou raiding the hummingbird feeder. At Monteverde.
This behind belongs to a Coati.
We like to think that we saved this frog from the volcanically heated pool. He didn't say thank you.
This sloth dared to cross a busy highway. Luckily a local gentleman stopped his vehicle and escorted him safely across. Near Fortuna, Costa Rica.
A Red-lored Parrot perhaps?
This is the extremely rare White-throated Magpie-Jay. Ha!
This is a beloved house cat. Hana! To see more beloved house cats visit http://www.gattinamycats.blogspot.com/

The photos are all beautiful ! what a selection of (to me) strange critters. Of course not the cats, lol !
What great animal pictures! I had no idea that there was anything other than hummingbirds that could suck out the sugar water. Incredible pictures.
Oh, and BTW, I realized as I was admiring the things you sent me along with my sand dollar is a picture YOU took of a hummingbird. It is so beautiful, and I thank you again. Hugs, too!
I love the monkey lounging on the branch, and the hummingbird at rest, and the coati rear end! You are so good with a camera!

The painting is so cute but the moose probably would like to give the beaver a swift kick.
I really enjoyed your zoo. Is that really a hummingbird? It is huge.
