The Thinking Orangutan
The orangutan is slowly becoming my favorite primate because of their facial expressions. When I see a picture like this, it is hard not to wonder what the orangutan was thinking about at that particular time (“Am I going to get out of Singapore Zoo?”, “What’s for lunch?”).

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.

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.
