When we visited Detroit Zoo last week I discovered many treasured animals; my photos of them will be treasured too. Here are just a few.
 |
| Giraffe at feeding station September 2013 |
A lot of animals were not photogenic as they persisted in presenting their backside to the camera. This treasure was worth waiting for.
 |
| Gorilla on a walk about |
Up in a tree there was what look like a discarded fur.
Until it turned to face me.
 |
| Red Panda |
Despite its stripes there is not much chance of it being confused with another treasure.
 |
| Tiger on the prowl |
Talking of stripes these animals had them in abundance.
 |
| Female Zebra out to graze. |
This fellow however wanted her to go inside. Who would argue with that horn.
 |
| Rhino on guard |
But watching everyone quite closely is a treasure said to have been rescued from a junk yard in Detroit.
 |
| Lioness in charge |
She gets my vote every time.
