meriones | One Handsome Fella...

I kept reading zoo updates about how gorgeous this guy was, so I had to go out to the farm and see for myself. Love his markings! He was also really adorable with the way he kept backing up and "charging" forward to headbutt my hand. His sweet spot seems to be behind the left ear - really got the happy tail wag going. Bam Bam's was always right between the hips.

One thing I wish I got on video? The camel born over the summer chasing one of the geese that always hang out in their exhibit. I could totally see and predict it happening but alas was not fast enough with the video button.

Oh, and my photo Pig Tails (click that link and vote for it if you haven't already. kthnx) was on the slideshow TV screen in the front entry when I stepped through the doors. So wasn't expecting that! I pretty much gave the zoo free use of my photos a couple years ago, but this is only the third time I've actually seen one in use. Very Cool!
