Welcome to Moose Country
The Amur Leopard is almost extinct - there are approx. 30 left in the world. The beauty of their coats has caused them to be hunted to nonexistence.

The Zoo
We had a "girls" weekend this past weekend because dad was flying and Austin went with his friend Travis to their cabin up north (yes, here in Minnesota, we can still say "up north" even though I never thought such land existed!). School in Minnesota was out last Thursday and Friday for MEA and it's always such a nice time of the year to be off - no holiday or busyness, just time off. So the girls and I went to the zoo on Saturday to see a new exhibit of Russia. It must've been the cool weather, because the animals were so active. We saw grizzly bears playing like kids in their large pool. When they would spash their paws it sounded like thunder! We also had a great time watching baby Gibbon monkeys - the mom was so sweet in trying to contain those two youngsters and to keep them from getting hurt.

A very short video of the bears playing - hope it works!
