Winter in the zoo

Here’s a few photo that I took over the winter time in the Metro Toronto Zoo.

It is early in the morning. Most of the snow from yesterday’s storm has melted under the warmth of the rising sun. Golden light is cast over the tiger den. I snapped this picture while the tiger is checking out its territory atop a tree stump.

Adult polar bears at the Toronto Zoo

Having written a post all about the two cute polar cubs at the zoo, adult polar bears felt left out. So here’s a post all about the adult polar bears at the Metro Toronto Zoo.

Here in the Metro Toronto Zoo, the adult polar bears has a single enclosure. There’s some rocky area and a pool where they can swim in. Since polar bears likes to swim a lot, the pool also has an underwater viewing area.

These are Arctic Wolfs, distinguished from the Gray Wolf by their year round white coat and shorter snort and ears.

Siberian tiger cubs two months later

Two months ago I took photos of the Siberian Tiber cubs and post it in this post. Now two months later, I payed them some more visit. It’s amazing how much the little cubs have grown in two months. In October they looked like a big cat. They really look like tigers now (well still small in the Siberian scale).

Polar bear cubs at the Toronto Zoo

There are two new polar bear cubs at the Toronto Zoo. Their mother were killed by a hunter in Polar Bear Provincial Park and there were found wandering near the James Bay coast in norther Ontario. They were too young to survive n their own so they were sent to the Metro Toronto Zoo. They have been named Aurora and Nikita. I’ve taken these set of photos over a 7 month period from May 2001 to December 2001.

This is taken on May 2001. The polar bear cubs Aurora and Nikita are still quite young. Don’t they just look like two furry snow balls? They are fed at 12 o’clock every day.
