In my opinion, everyday that animals are involved is a good day. But when the first cool front makes its way through Houston, the zoo is the place to be. That is when the animals who were boring to watch in the summer come alive with the fresh, cool air!
Not sure if you can see them, but these two howler monkeys, much more used to the warm weather, were snuggling in a tree for an after-lunch nap!
These monkeys are so fun. They look like little witch-doctors. For the most part, they were digging into their monkey biscuits and fresh produce the keepers leave out for them.

What are you looking at?
I caught this little guy mid-chew. He was munching on some lettuce.
One of the best reasons to visit the primates is to see the orangutans. I love the expression in their faces and how they move.
There was a baby lemur born at the zoo not that long ago. Here he is riding his mom.
The tiger was roaring most of the time we were there today, and you could hear him all over the zoo. However, I believe he might have been hurt. He was limping around his enclosure as he was roaring.
Lioness, overlooking the crowd. Looking for the next person to catch... oh wait...she is looking at me!

The newest edition to the Giraffe family. He was hangin' with the Ostrich.
Every time we go to the zoo, Snoopy always lets me have as much time as I want watching the Meerkats. They weren't scurrying around like I had hoped, but I did have a few posing for the camera.
