Philadelphia Zoo Lions  Lioness and cub lounge on grass as another cub peeks from rocks in a lush zoo habitat.

*THROWBACK ALERT!* Roaring cuteness at Philadelphia Zoo! From "Philadelphia Zoo Lions" on my site: a lioness lounges on a grassy mound as cubs cuddle and one peeks from the rocks. A tender family moment. #PhiladelphiaZoo #Lions #ZooPhotography [Originally posted: 2015-06-20]

The Philadelphia Zoo is ever changing, but one of the things that never changes is the Victorian exit turnstile. It always seems to me that if you exited incorrectly, you'd be sliced to pieces, like a block of cheese. Hence my name for it: The Cheese Slicer. I love it so much.

Spent two hours in the Philadelphia Zoo

A ferret at the center of some blankets looking up sleepily toward the camera.

A sleepy ferret doing a small and lazy stretch from within a box filled with blankets curled around another ferret sleeping buddy.

Two ferrets cuddled close fast asleep in a box full of blankets laying on their sides.

Guess what I went and saw first at #PhiladelphiaZoo

A slightly grainy picture of an adult Colobus Monkey (black with a white righ of fur around black face and long skunk-like hair down the back and tail) holding an infant (all white with pink face and ears). Both are looking down and to the left with the camera facing upward to capture the image. They are in front of chains links and haloed in light.

Omg the #PhiladelphiaZoo had a little surprise baby born on the 27th! There's a baby Colobus Monkey that keepers noticed, and we're pleasantly shocked by the arrival of (the father wasn't doing mating behaviors at all to make anyone suspect, the smooth operator).

a woman in a white tank top stands next to a man in a black suit and says you know i will Alt: Kristin Stewart looking especially lesbian in a white tank and bleached shoulder-length hair, doing that thing where she shrugs and puts her hands in her pockets as a man in a black jacket walks by to go through a door she's holding open. Behind her is a built-in bookshelf. She says, "You know I will," which is quoted in bottom text.

Did I call #PhiladelphiaZoo to ask if I could play with their ferrets? Yes. Is that one of their supported encounters? No. Was Layla, the rep on the line, kind and professional? Yes. Am I still going to the zoo? Also, yes. Am I a bit heartbroken? Another yes. Will I find a way to snuggle ferrets?
