Lion(fish), Tigers...and Butterflies

Oh my!  I didn't realize just how many photos I took at the Henry Doorly Zoo {Omaha} 'til I started to post some more.

A few from the aquarium...





At the cat complex...

Majestic looking animals.  I have to say, I was a bit disappointed with their accommodations...seemed small & a bit barren.  These two tigers were quite agitated,  pacing constantly.

Khuntami...the senior citizen...age 19.  I don't know alot about tigers, but that seems pretty old for a cat.  A big "sweetie"; he tolerated our snapping photos of him for a bit. 

Then, he got up and slowly ambled to the back corner.

A favorite spot of mine, the Butterfly Pavillion.  Big, bright beautiful butterflies fluttering about...made it difficult to take a picture.  That, and the fact that it felt like a sauna in there.  My camera lens immediately fogged up from the humidity!


All in all, a good day at the zoo!
