The Adventures of Kerri & Matt

We didn’t get to see the baby polar bear at the Toronto Zoo because he was sick. But we did get to see the adults.

Polar bears look funny lounging in the dandelions.

He had to take a bath to cool off.

He was dripping wet.

In a very non-arctic swimming pool.

Then he had to shake.

He did lots of shaking before immediately getting back into the water.

The artic wolf was also having some problems with camouflage.

And so were these geese.

We went to the Toronto Zoo today to see the baby pandas!

They were super cute.

And playful.

Dad was snoozing in the sun.

And Mom was eating.

So no one was watching the little guys.

So she went exploring.

She’s not going to fit through there.

Her head is too big.

Kerri was distressed.

But she made it.

It was exhausting work.

We got to see baby lion cubs on the lush, green, perfectly mowed African savannah!

They were all very lazy except for this one that kept licking the other ones because it wanted to play.

But everyone else wanted to nap.

Poor big kitty.

They are barely kittens at this point, the males are starting to get manes.

Dad actually seemed to think it was time for some new kittens.

Mom did not agree.

Even when he begged.

There were much newer babies in the crocodile exhibit! For some reason the zoo doesn’t advertise them on their list of babies.

The other African animals looked very awkward in the green dandelion covered grass.

They were snoozing even though Toronto is not nearly as hot as home.

We didn’t manage to find Timon in Africa because he was hanging out in Toronto.

The hippopotamuses begged for food like puppies.

They like carrots.

Their teeth don’t seem suited to crunching carrots, but somehow they seem to manage OK.

They aren’t very good at catching melons.

But they really seem to like lettuce.

They should really finish what is in their mouth before begging for more though.
