The zebra seems unfazed by frost on chin hairs...
....but I have a hard time getting my mind around a Grevy's zebra standing on a snowdrift. I actually love the look of animals with a winter coat though they look a little comical when it starts shedding in early summer.
We went to the zoo on the day after the snow and the temperature got up to 40 degrees. The polar bears and artic fox were content and the sea lions were swimming in water with snow and ice inside.
I got a really good photo of an artic fox.
They are so cute and cuddly looking that it is hard to remember that they are wild animals.
One reason that I went to the zoo is that I got a notice that they brought in a new male jaguar and he is beautiful. Our current female is only 16 months, a bit young--so the zoo keeper said--for breeding. Note the distinctive markings: large rosettes with multiple dots inside.
