Polar Bear Sticking Tongue Out: San Francisco Zoo
This is a picture of a Polar Bear sticking his tongue out (not at me, I hope!) from the San Francisco Zoo a little bit ago. A couple of things about this picture stand out to me:
1. The color of the Polar Bear’s tongue is kind of mottled.
2. The skin of the Polar Bear is actually not quite as white as I would have expected. While I assume this to be an issue of the living conditions in a zoo, I think many people think the fur is going to be as white as snow.

This is actually a scan of a dolphin picture that I took long ago on my now lost Minolta Maxxum 8000i. I don’t have the original negative, unfortunately.

Panda Bear:Chiang Mai Zoo

The panda bears at the Chiang Mai Zoo recently gave a rare birth, if memory serves me correctly.
The Chiang Mai Zoo was much better than the zoo located outside of Bangkok. To give you an idea as to how bad the zoo is in Bangkok, the polar bear exhibit was all outside; the poor polar bear was roasting to death in the tropical heat.
White Tigers at Singapore Zoo
Singapore Zoo has been the best zoo I have been to during my travels (I even liked it better than the San Diego Zoo!) Most of the animals at the zoo have fairly “natural” exhibits, which means they have a fair amount of space to roam around in.
The white tigers in this picture killed some suicidal keeper around November of 2008!
Out of all of the animals in the animal kingdom, the big cats are the ones I love the most.
