Animal Prints

My last day in Nairobi in pictures.


A cute baby elephant at the David Sheldren Trust


Clumsy little things =P


More elephants...


Classic shot.


Baby rhino! Active little guy. He was jumping around and dancing...


Giraffe Center!


Up super close and personal...


They have purple tongues!


=)


Lions...


Baby cheetahs...


More lions! Oh my.


Yup, little Mathew is trying to pull on the ostrich's feathers. About two seconds after I snapped this picture, his mom, dad, and aunt rushed in and pulled him back -P


Fed this guy some peanuts.


Barack the monkey!


Apparently he arrived at the Nairobi airport during Obama's inauguration


This little guy was so funny Apparently he used to be in the animal orphanage, so he was visiting his friends.


He was perfectly content while peanuts presented, but as soon as anyone tried to pet him, he'd swipe at them.


I think he was my favorite =D


A little off the beaten path... feeding lions!


And again...


And he's a little protective of his food.


Pretty incredible, huh? This would never happen in the US... someone told me if you bribe the guard, you can pet the baby cheetahs, but making friends with a volunteer turned out to be much better =)
