More from the Wildlife World Zoo

You asked for them, and here they are: twelve more photos that I took during our last visit to the Wildlife World Zoo here in the Phoenix metropolitan area. The zoo recently announced new exhibits, including pygmy hippos, and the videos they've been sharing on Instagram really make me want to get back there!

Back in the Baby Animal Nursery, here are a pair of tiny Blue Duikers.

A pair of wood ducks. These ducks nest high in trees, and the ducklings have to jump out and fall to the ground to get to water.

I don't know what this little guy is, but he looks so peaceful!

A ring-tailed lemur (another favorite of mine) catching some rays.

This lemur took one look at me, turned its head, and stuck out its tongue. Same to ya, buddy!

Black-Handed Spider Monkey. I used to be all long and spindly like that. Ah, the good old days!

Sailfin Dragon closeup. I wonder what shade of lipstick that is?

Didn't this White-Faced Capuchin star in "Grumpy Old Men"?

Impala

Reticulated Giraffes, in all sizes.

Red-Tailed Meerkat. I could watch 'em all day!

A lovely little train that takes you around the zoo. It's a b-i-g place!

I wish you were here so I could use my free passes to take you here. It's the absolute perfect time of year to be in the Valley of the Sun!
