Well I did two posts in a row at the zoo and didnt show any animals so I thought I would keep at the zoo for todays post but share some shots of animals

Starting with this shot of the Red Panda, this was from a previous visit tot he zoo, I did see the red panda on my last visit but it was right up by the fencing and it made it impossible to get a shot of it without the wires showing
