Photography :: Sedgwick County Zoo fall 2013
The animals were cooperative when we visited Sedgwick County Zoo on Nov. 2. I got some great images of 4-month-old Amur tiger cubs and a 6-week-old Grevy’s zebra, among others.
Here are a selection of my favorites from this visit:
This Grevy’s zebra was born 6 weeks ago.
The baby zebra is on exhibit with her mom and her aunt. She’s a little brownish compared to the adults.
The Grizzly bear was posing for me before gnawing on this twig of leaves.
It was National Bison Day during our visit, so I had to capture this pair.
A fence couldn’t block the love between these Okapi.
Always love the meerkats and the shadows were cool on this day.
No animals to see here, just a cool pond area between the hippo and the zebra exhibits.

And here’s a collection of photos of the Amur tiger cubs. They were born in early July so they are just about 4 months old in these photos. Natasha is the female and was more active. Tsar, the boy, stayed toward the back of the exhibit. He was limping a little; keepers said it was from roughhousing with his sister. Mom is 8-year-old Talali, who is in a few of the images.

Look how cute the back of her ears are!

Tsar was practicing his hissing, even though mom and sis were all the way across the exhibit.
