Photo Week: Lion Cubs at the Bronx Zoo
The Photo Week this week features the 13th and final zoo of our 11 zoos in 12 days marathon (we picked up 2 more along the route)…. If you missed the other 12 check out the Photo Week Archives! And since these adorable lion cubs won a combo of their own, below is a tribute to the also rans at the zoo on a day otherwise dominated by ooohs and ahhhh in Simba’s Village!
on the 13th day….
…..rest.
Gorilla, The Bronx Zoo.
the bronx zoo
Lions, The Bronx Zoo. Zoo # 13 of 11 zoos in 12 days. I can’t think of a better way to cap off a great zoo adventure but with triplet lion cubs! Thank you Bronx Zoo, sensational display of cub-dom! Check back Sunday for the Photo Week combo filled with more cubs, lemurs and other highlights!
prospect park zoo
Red Panda, The Prospect Park Zoo. Zoo #12 of 11 zoos in 12 days.
Zoo #12 of 11 Zoos in 12 days.
and on the 10th day….
….we drove east…..and north, and east…..and east.
Heron, Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
And found a new zoo!! Ohhhh…..Oh 11 zoos in 12 days just got bigger!!
Zoo # 11 of 11 zoos in 12 days. The National Aviary, Pittsburgh.
Should we drive a few 30 miles out of the way to tack on another zoo? Why not? More like, Hell Yes!! What better way to breakup a 600 plus driving day but with a visit to ANOTHER zoo, a surprising and charming 2 hour visit at that, at the National Aviary! Seriously impressive Pittsburgh, Bravo… You had us at The Pittsburgh Zoo, we might just have to come back to your fine city again! As my co-pilot pointed out though, this DOES throw off the symmetry of 11 zoos in 12 days! With one maybe 2 to go, I’m not sure what to make of 12 in 12 days, or 13 in 12…. Do i hear 14 in 13?
