Animal Pictures from the Past

I return again today to show more of my pictures. Last week I made a post showing some of my nature pictures I took in the past. Well, this is basically the same idea but it is of animals. All the pictures I will be showing are from different trips to the two Zoos in Seattle that has happened throughout the years. I hope you enjoy!

Tigers, like the one in this picture, are my second favorite animal. My first favorite is the Giant Panda if you are wondering, but that could change. It was hard to get the picture to turn out right with the fence and people in the way, but I would rather have a fence in the way than have no fence any day. I took this when me and Katie were over in Seattle with our grandma this summer, and I had to take like twenty different pictures of the Tiger just to get one or two good ones. And, like I said in a past post, I normally don't edit pictures but I did crop out some of the fencing in this one which also makes it look like the tiger was just a few feet away from me.

This is a very strange, big, unmoving, and alive fish, but I have no idea what it is called. It looked even bigger and brighter in person but a camera can only show so much. This fish was in a tank with other ones such as an ocean sunfish, smaller fish, and some bigger ones (I really don't know the names of most of them). I liked this one though because it was so colorful and big, plus it was right next to the glass so I could get a few pictures. Actually, it might be a Humphead Wrasse, but I don't know for sure.

As you can see, this is an Elephant (what type, I would have to research first). If it happens to be an African Elephant, it is the heaviest land animal on earth, but I am not sure yet. I like Elephants, but it is hard to imagine how big they really are even when you're at a Zoo. Or maybe I always think they will be bigger, but when I get to see them I find the Elephants are short (in my opinion). But they don't hold the record for being the tallest so I should not see why I think of them as huge. Maybe I get the idea of a huge dinosaur's size in mind when someone mentions an Elephant, but who knows? I have to admit though, Elephants are pretty cool even if they aren't super tall.

This is a picture of the world's tallest animal - the Giraffe. Only thing is, in this picture it does not look all that tall. Unless you notice its head nearly reaches the pine tree's branches of course. Anyways, I did edit this picture by cropping out some things, but I took it so long ago I can't remember if I added any contrast or lighting to it. I probably did, but it does not really matter. I also noticed something - the heaviest land animal and the tallest animal are both in Africa. The Elephant (heaviest land animal) and the Giraffe (tallest animal) hold those two records. It would be really cool if I could actually see these animals out in the wild, but I have a feeling they would squish or attack me before I could even take a decent picture. 

The last picture I have to show is that of a brown bear. I don't know how I did it, but this one actually looks like I am out in the wild. Well... maybe not since I don't think the water would be like that and you can also see the top of a fence down in the bottom left corner. But, if you forget those things, you could imagine this was taken out in the woods. How did I not get eaten or chased? Well... let's just say it is a secret (if you pretend this was not at a Zoo). I like brown bears too along with Giant Pandas, Tigers, Wolves - I like almost all animals.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this post and these animal pictures. Sorry I could not get more recent ones, but this is sort of like a Blast from the Past type of post based off animals. I would really like to see these out in the wild, like I already mentioned, but that would not be possible right now. Until then I can look at pictures of them online, at the Zoo when we go to it, and on my camera. I'll be signing off now so I can work on some things, but I will return again tomorrow.
