Out of the pool

Snaps of the rhino at the Delhi Zoo coming out of a pool. It was quite a majestic site . . .

The Animals, Delhi Zoo

After the post on the birds at Delhi Zoo, I had messages asking if I had not taken any snaps of the animals. 

Here are they . . .

Gaur (Indian Bison) . . .

The elusive palm civet

Barking deer

The Himalayan Bear . . . my hands were shaking

Giraffe .. .. .. trying to hide

Hippos playing hide and seek

The jumbos. Hope you noticed the tusker inside the shed

The baboon

More snaps in the next posts . . .

Trivandrum Zoo

As always, the visit to my home at Trivandrum also included a visit to the zoo. It must be the 7th or the 8th time that Shalom has visited the zoo. This time, he was very specific. And it was special for us as Chesed was visiting any zoo for the first time. 

Shalom was sure about what he wanted to see. Yeah, the big animals . . . He bypassed most of the enclosures of the smaller animals in favour of the bigger ones. He was not disappointed. 

A few snaps from the visit . . .
