Not Quite Africa

We got to see baby lion cubs on the lush, green, perfectly mowed African savannah!

image

They were all very lazy except for this one that kept licking the other ones because it wanted to play.

image

But everyone else wanted to nap.

image

Poor big kitty.

image

They are barely kittens at this point, the males are starting to get manes.

image

Dad actually seemed to think it was time for some new kittens.

image

Mom did not agree.

image

Even when he begged.

image

There were much newer babies in the crocodile exhibit! For some reason the zoo doesn’t advertise them on their list of babies.

image

The other African animals looked very awkward in the green dandelion covered grass.

image

They were snoozing even though Toronto is not nearly as hot as home.

image

We didn’t manage to find Timon in Africa because he was hanging out in Toronto.

image

The hippopotamuses begged for food like puppies.

image

They like carrots.

image

Their teeth don’t seem suited to crunching carrots, but somehow they seem to manage OK.

image

They aren’t very good at catching melons.

image

But they really seem to like lettuce.

image

They should really finish what is in their mouth before begging for more though.
