Zoo Pictures
New zoo pictures start here with the panda sprawl picture. The pictures I took at the zoo's Conservation and Research Center in Front Royal start here with the clouded leopard cub pictures. I was out at the CRC this past weekend to help out with their annual Conservation Festival. Since I have no real knowledge of anything conservation or research related, I got to help run one of the children's games. Kids had to find hidden cardboard cutouts of various native birds 'hidden' along a fence. Upon finding these birds, kids received a sticker and a coloring sheet. This was more exciting to some kids than others. The best part about being out at the CRC was getting to see the 7 month old clouded leopard cubs that are living there until they get old enough to move to the zoo. They are completely adorable kittens that are about the size of a golden retriever. Make sure to watch the 20 second video of one of the cubs attacking some grass. Extremely adorable.
