Okay, another story about our trip to the zoo....

The baby below was only a week old. He/she was born May 31st and we were there June 7....so adorable!!  There are several shots of it because I wanted to be able to catch the size of him in comparison to the adults. I'm used to viewing these on my large widescreen monitor, so the photos below really don't do them justice as tiny prints, but it'll do. Isn't he/she cute!?http://media-files.gather.com/images/d732/d763/d744/d224/d96/f3/full.jpghttp://media-files.gather.com/images/d736/d763/d744/d224/d96/f3/full.jpghttp://media-files.gather.com/images/d728/d763/d744/d224/d96/f3/full.jpghttp://media-files.gather.com/images/d723/d763/d744/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg
