Mike Hulsebus Photography: The Detroit Zoo


parrot

Karen and I drove out to the Detroit Zoo (actually in Royal Oak) on Saturday to have a look around.

snake


turtle and girl

Ever wonder if the animals think that they're some sort of ambassadors deemed special enough to have thousands of people file past their homes for their viewing enjoyment?

If any of your friends have been to the Detroit Zoo, ask to see their picture in front of the fountain. They'll have one; everyone does.


detroit zoo seal exhibit underwater

The coolest exhibit that they've got at the Zoo is an underwater tunnel where seals swim overhead. (It was a pretty busy day at the Zoo as you can tell).

anteaters

You don't really realize how odd anteaters look until you see them in person lumbering around.


vultures

The vultures were pretty mobile. It just looks like he's taking off--he's not able to fly around, only flap his arms as he runs.


baby praire dogs

Little praire dogs.



Lazy Kangaroo

All the kangaroos were resting in the shade.



yelling angry peacock

The peacocks don't like to be bothered.


Hippo


Bear

A good number of animals were actually out doing things.

Snow monkey.


gorilla thinker rodin

The gorilla held this pose for at least thirty seconds and then walked away.


Gibbon

It's everyone's favorite animal with an old-man face: the gibbon!

Yawning roaring tiger

He's yawning not roaring, but I still figured it was a pretty good photo to end the entry with.
