For the second year in a row, the baby panda (Tai Shan) at the National Zoo has made an appearance for me. Yes just for me! Can you believe it? Well he's hardly a baby anymore at age two, but he is still quite adorable.
And the meerkats -they had babies this year - playful, so tiny, and just starting to forage for a little food.
Can you find the chameleon? He is very hard to see. We were also at hand when the reptile keeper hand fed the veiled chameleon (crickets -you wanted to know!).
Click on the picture, it gets bigger.
AMAZONIA!
Wanna Kiss?!

Couldn't see the chameleon. Did you forget where it was between taking the photo and publishing it - I probably would!
The baby meerkats are adorable. I can't see enough of them.
val- I took almost a whole roll of film on those darling babies. The chameleon is about dead center of the picture. If you click on it, it gets bigger.
i found it!! only b/c i clicked on it tho, i never would have seen it otherwise. fun post!! luv the last pic:p
I saw him right away. It's easy when you enlarge the pic. :)
How cute are meerkat babies?
Whoa! Those are AWESOME!! Just awesome! :) Thanks fo rsharing. Can't wait to show them to my kids. :)
I think it only fitting that since you traveled cross-country, that the panda comes out for you. :)

Nope, that chameleon is too clever for me.. What brilliant pic's, looks like you had a brilliant visit.
Wow! I found the chameleon but only by making the pic larger. The meerkats & panda are SO CUTE! You got some great shots of the fish too!
Try as I might I can't see the chameleon!! Hello Tai Shan...Mmmmmm, yummy leaves :)
Cool turtles!
The ONLY way I can see that darn chameleon With my glasses on is when I click on the pic to enlarge. Then he pops right out.
Candace -thank you!
Rose -you know they always let Tai Shan know when I'm coming ;)
There is plenty of cool stuff to see at the National Zoo, but right before I left, WP and I visited the Folsom Zoo Sanctuary. I will post some of those pics. They do a fantastic job of caring for the 'rejects' (my favs). You know, the bears and cougars some asshole thought would make a great pet. The golden eagle with one eye shot out. You get the picture. People are just stupid idiots, except of course for my wonderful blogging buddies who love animals.
My kids LOVED these, and I wanted to be sure to congratulate WP here for shaving down some of her times. Wow! That's awesome. :)
I found 'e, the chameleon that is. I also used him as my desktop wallpaper too! Several of these are desktop wallpaper worthy. :>
Thank you for coming to visit me! It's nice to meet you!
Take Care,
-P
P.s. I've got pics of coyote, a bathing bear and a wolf currently posted.
i saw that chameleon before clicking on the picture. yep, i'm just that good (okay, so we used to have one, back when we lived in Miami)
and i DOES love me some Meerkat babies. (i'm a fan of Meerkat Manor on Animal Planet, too) lucky you to get the whole "show"! apparently it is a special day when you visit the zoo! ; )
awww those animals are the cutest little things!
Hey, the last one looks like Bret Michaels of POISON!!! **MWAH***
I love the fish picture best of all!
Meerkats...have you read LIFE OF PI, by any chance? Just askin'.
Hahaha, I was clicking the picture of the meerkats looking for the chamelon. I did find him in the proper picture.
Isn't nature amazing? Nice shots.
I passed right over that Chameleon not even realizing it was there.
Very Nice!
I saw the lizard :-)
I found that lizard straight away. But if I were a predator, I doubt that I could. Is his name Waldo by any chance?
