Establishing Dominance

Kitsnaps: Establishing Dominance

I believe the toothy one here might be Kafi, a 3 year old new arrival to the zoo. I got a bunch of pictures of these two chasing each other around and jumping on one another in what looked like semi-friendly play, and then discovered there was a new gorilla at the zoo, so I think this is as much establishing heirarchy as play.

Got Something In My Lip

Kitsnaps: Got Something In My Lip

To balance out yesterday’s dramatic picture+story, today you get a picture of a dorky giraffe with something stuck in her lip. :)

Ghost Wolf

Kitsnaps: Ghost Wolf

This is what happens when you take an over-exposed photograph of a grey wolf on a fairly bright day. Also, that intent expression? That’s because this shot was taken at exactly the moment the wolf noticed Young Indiana. That is a wolf who is thinking, “Lunch!” The next shot I have of him he’s got his head lowered and is prowling down the hill after Young Indiana. :)
