Lions, Tigers and Bears

For my Camera Critters I am showing some of the critters hubby and I saw while visiting the Smithsonian National Zoo in DC.

Some of my favorite critters at the zoo, the Panda bears, monkeys, orangutans, elephants and the tigers.

One of this zoo's big atttraction is the Panda Bears and the lions cubs were on my list of animals to see. I wanted to see how much they have grown since our last visit. They have grown a lot and all 7 cubs are doing well.

Below the Prairie Dog is looking a little chubby but not as big as the elephant. The Orangutan was climbing the tower while we were there and I love the meerkat's pose for me. I enjoyed seeing the Howler Monkey but it was much nice seeing them wild in Costa Rica .

National Zoo lions

For my Camera Critters post I have some shots of the lion family at the National Zoo in Washington, DC. There were 5 cubs all playing with each other and their parents. It was not possible to get all five of the cubs in one shot. They were all over the place. Naba is mommy to three of the cubs which were born in September and Shera is mommy to 4 cubs born in August. I read that one cub died so that should leave six but we only saw five playing outside.

I am pretty sure this was the first time for me seeing the lion cubs, they sure were so adorable It was really cute seeing the cubs interacting the larger male and female lions.

Cubs playing with daddy Luke.

This is one of my favorite shots, the daddy looks so proud and peaceful.

I hope your enjoyed my Camera Critters this week and please visit Misty Dawn to see more wonderful critters. Thanks to Misty for hosting and thank you for stopping by to see my post. Have a great weekend.
