An Elk in NC

This big guy was observed at the NC Zoo exactly 2 weeks ago. He looks a little scruffy with his fur coming off in patches and the antlers just getting started. No doubt he'll be looking somewhat better by now.

It looks like this fellow--and such a pretty fellow he is--went to the veggie salad bar for lunch. Nothing like some carrots and greens to fortify yourself for a day of being looked at.

I took this picture at the NC Zoo yesterday. It's a Colobus monkey and they have the most amazing fur.

Monkey see, monkey depressed

I saw this little fellow last September when I was at the NC Zoo. Most of the other monkeys in the enclosure were playing on some logs but this fellow was sitting all alone and looking quite sad. I hope that things got better for him later on...
