The Adventures of Kerri & Matt

The Snow Leopards are very good climbers, so there is netting and fences all the way around the enclosure.

So Kerri doesn’t usually take pictures of them when they are close to the fence. But this time the kitten was too cute so she did anyway.

The pandas were engaged in an epic battle.

But over what we cannot be sure.

The weather was nice.

The bamboo was plentiful.

There seemed to be perfect conditions for lying around doing nothing.

But instead the teeth and claws were out.

Finally Mom got tired and the cubs went to cuddle in the hammock.

And give each other kisses.

The kind of kisses where the scruff of your brother’s neck winds up in your mouth.

And somehow he winds up falling out of the hammock.

And you’re not very helpful when he tries to get back in.

So he gives you a big hug.

Such friendly hugs.

And you both fall out of the hammock.

Hey! No sneaking in the back!

Where did he go?

We don’t both fit in here!

This isn’t working!

Move over and give me some space!

Let me tell you a secret.

If I go away and leave you alone.

You will have a lot more space to get comfortable.

But soon you will be sad and lonely.

And I’ll get all the bamboo to myself!

You’ve seen the baby rhino’s bum and the pregnant mommy rhino’s bum, so now you should see the daddy rhino’s bum.

The rhinos are much easier to tell apart from the back.
