2018

Here are some pictures from 2018, the year I began to visit zoos often. All are from the Columbus Zoo unless noted.

water monitor - the signage is unclear at to the species

markhor

black-and-white colobus

trumpeter swan

alligator snapping turtle - I once saw a keeper feeding this one with a pair of long tongs. The shell is 2 1/2 to 3 feet long.

  1. Love the Pelicans-they are big and intimidating in real life!

  2. Looks like you caught the markhor in mid jump. Great still shot.

    1. I'm always happy to get a markhor in flight, but I'm often too slow because I look away.
