sad monkey

Sibiu zoo, December 2011

	Cervus Elaphus accustomed to being fed by visitors.
	Even my lens looked appetizing, apparently.
	This lynx was a little more laid back.
	He did take notice of me...
	...but soon grew bored.
	Unidentified fowl.
	White variation.
	Another wild bird.
	This one was guarding his cage more than he was looking for food.
	He kept patrolling the perimeter until we were out of sight.
	This monkey looked sad to cooped indoors on a snowy day.
	The parakeets also had to be kept indoors.
	I couldn't get very good photos in the dim indoor light.
	Budgerigar.
	A lump of lemurs.
	We passed the lynx's cage again, and I couldn't resist this shot.
	The brown bears (ursus arctos, related to American grizzlies) were playing King of the Hill.
	It was a strangely slow-motion game.
	Though they did bite at times.
	This apparently got tiring.
	What a long tongue!
	Bear tongue II
	Another important part of the bear's feeding equipment.
	In what distant deeps or skies / Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
	He just kept pacing silently ... downright scary.
	Smaranda greets a friendlier beast.
	Matching hats?
