We started out with this little fella doing some morning stretches...

And on the other side there was this cheetah, who seems distracted...
![Colorful!](http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b253/foreverdreamer83/eyesofwonder/4-11-09/DSC01471th.jpg)
I don't remember exactly what kind this was but he sure is colorful.

The only decent picture I could catch of this too-cute meerkat! He was so fast.
![Happy elephant.](http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b253/foreverdreamer83/eyesofwonder/4-11-09/DSC01508elephantth.jpg)
A happy (asian) elephant playing around.
These next few photos are a series of sorts, with these adorable young tigers who were annoying the crap out of each other. I could have sat there and took pictures of them all day!

![Wise white tiger.](http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b253/foreverdreamer83/eyesofwonder/4-11-09/DSC01530whitetigerth.jpg)
Then there was this beautiful white tiger just sitting on this cliff overlooking the younger ones.. I could almost imagine him just shaking his head at their silliness. =P

A male lion that I caught right before he started hiding.
![!!!](http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b253/foreverdreamer83/eyesofwonder/4-11-09/DSC01547th.jpg)
Those massive antlers are what caught my eye in this one. I don't remember what exactly the animal is though...
Here's another series, this time with parrots, in the area of the zoo called "Parrot Paradise."

![Dancing flamingo!](http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b253/foreverdreamer83/eyesofwonder/4-11-09/DSC01579flamingoballerinath.jpg)
This reminded me of a ballerina... just looks so graceful and poised. (Actually, this was the moment just before tucking its leg in to go to sleep)
![Colorful macaw.](http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b253/foreverdreamer83/eyesofwonder/4-11-09/DSC01601th.jpg)

This macaw wasn't shy at all.
