Toledo

It's hockey season, and that means Toledo Zoo visits. These shots are from October 23 and November 6.

I was happy to see Marty in October, but I report with sadness that he was euthanized in November because of kidney disease. He was pretty important when it comes to polar bears in American zoos.

Nieve, an aged Andean or spectacled bear. The missing gardener and I call her Penny because she reminds us of Penny, the gardener's mother's dog.

Patagonian cavy, or mara. It gave me some side-eye as I moved around looking for the best view.

Emma, I think. Or Herbie.
