On Sunday last my husband and I accompanied our son's family to the
Twin Valley Zoo east of Brantford. Of course I didn't write about it immediately so have forgotten just what these sleepy animals are, although I do remember they reminded me of the javelinas we saw in Arizona.
This bobcat was calm and beautiful. The tail is very short; hence, the name, I figured out.
Lots of deer ambled behind their fence. Of course there are many deer running free in Ontario, so this is not such a rare sight.
Daddy black bear sat patiently under the scrutiny of Ben, his parents and his grandparents.
The reindeer were quite interesting. This one has a lovely rack of antlers.
And this baby's antlers have just started to grow. I think his glare is because we had no food for him and he had run right over when he saw us.
At first I thought these were llamas, but of course they are alpacas. They have such a pert, perfect pose.
Alice the camel had only one hump here and, may I say, she was pretty ugly.
You might think this is just a kitty but beware as bobcats can be ferocious.
These two mountain lions drowsed in the afternoon sun.
The sound of the zebra was a revelation for all of us and I can't even describe it. Donkeys have their distinct heehaw and the zebra's sound is every bit as weird.
This mountain goat gave us his best side!
The last thing we did was enter the goat enclosure, at our peril. Immediately one of them untied my shoelace, and this one is pretty interested in Benjamin's clothing. We all had quite a time getting out of there with all we had taken in.
Wee Ben didn't know what to make of the goats!
There is no greater time than spending an afternoon with our kids and grandkids. Four and One? Four adults and one little boy out for his first trip to the zoo.
