Animals in Spring
We often think of visiting the Zoo in the summer months. Times when it’s hot outside and the escape to a small oasis with wild animals, great palms and more sounds particularly alluring. Yet the animals themselves feel that same urge to avoid the heat and crowds, particularly here in Phoenix.
On previous trips to the Zoo I’ve mostly encountered Giraffes huddled in the shade, Monkeys sequestered in small shady corners, and the occasional lazy Lions paw dangling haphazardly out of a cubby. Taking advantage of a warm week in early spring, I opted for an off season visit. To my delight the animals were out in fine form enjoying the weather and providing me with an opportunity to record a bit of video. Enjoy!
