Camera Critters

It's Saturday and that means Camera Critters time!

It's back to the Houston Zoo.

This time for a little something different:
Feast With The Beasts.

An evening with 50 different restaurants,
live entertainment (animals and a band).

Money raised from this event goes to feeding the zoo animals.


Feast With the Beasts 2009


We were greeted at the front gate by these little critters.

A zebra first.

How many lions have you seen like this one?

Just look at this really talented giraffe!

Some of the zoo animals got special treats.
The wild dogs were given a hide to munch/play on/with.

He really does look like a wild dog!

Be sure to visit Camera Critters for more critters.

Have a wonderful weekend!

    Very interesting twist on Camera Critters! As for the real critters: I had never seen a wild dog before reading this post, I surely wouldn't ever want to come across a real one!!! Very little risk of that in Montreal, I would say :o)

    You caught the wild dog with just the right eye reflection to look truly wild!
    Fun to see the people getting into the act with their costumes.

    Love the giraffe, sounds like a wonderful time.

    Wild dogs really do like wild stuff
    to eat...sometimes not so pretty, but real. Even house dogs some times come home with wild goodies too!

    Cool pictures. That would be fun to go to a night like that at the zoo.

    Thanks for sharing.

    I went to the zoo the other day with my sister Anne. I'm gonna post about it soon! I love the wild dog pictures! Wow. We don't have any of those over here. Creepy, but cool. I'm sure America would find the whole hide thing too politically incorrect for such shenanigans as natural behaviors... (she said sarcastically...) I loved the dressed up dancers though. That looks like fun.

    Hi Snap, What a neat fundraiser for the zoo. Looks like there were tons of people there ---so I'll bet they made alot of money. Was the food good?????

    Those 'beasts' were fabulous.... Great costumes.
    Hugs,

    I love their costumes! Wouldn't it be fun to dress like a different animal everyday?!

    What a super event. I think all the zoo's should do that. Great photo's. If i had an outfit like that my elk would run for the hills screaming, 'the old gal has really lost it"! Was suprized by a bobcat the other day. He was in pursuit of a bunny. The bunny one.Sharon
