Made my annual trek to the Memphis Zoo and I always visit the "Cat House" first, primarily 'cause it's the first area as you enter; then the primate area, always the polar bear, wolves, birds, and the elephants.
Could your Ooops be a Leopard? Very nice zoo pics!

Yes, my Oops is a leopard. Thanks for the correction. My first mistake this month; I also have some land for sale about 400 yards due South of Key West, Florida.
The unidentified duck is a Canvas Back

Thank you for identifying the Gibbon. I should have looked it up - Got lazy. Thanks again.

No problem, I was just curious and started looking at images of primates on Google. Then I woke up and thought of the Memphis Zoo website, and there he was on the top corner of the Primate Canyon page!
You got some great photos, thanks for posting them. Now that my kids are grown and I've got grandkids, I'm starting to revisit zoos after years away from them. A great place for photo ops!

Thanks for the nice comment on my pictures. I really enjoy the Memphis Zoo. In my opinion, it is better than Nashville or Birmingham due to the huge number of people they have sponsoring particular exhibits; thus they have more animals in better daily life situations. Also, Memphis is tripod friendly!
