Last time I visited Henry Vilas Zoo was April 24th, so time for an overdue visit. Let’s check in with a few of the residents. Happy day to you all! ✌️❤️&🐻❄️🦏🐅🦧
Breakfast time for handsome….Kuza 😍
Kuza turned 14 in May.
Oh, Shakura 🤩 She always has a lot to say!
Beautiful, Berit 😍
This beautiful lady 🐻❄️ is 26 years Young
Back to swimming laps….
Shh….Badger Dekker is napping with his brother Kaminsky.
Whoa….the meerkats grew up while I was away! Yep, every family has that one member that has to be the center of attention for cameras!
Hmm….what to do about it? Join him or her!
Capybara’s Morrison & Peru 😍

“No way! Mom …. MOM! Wake up! Look who’s back It’s really her! She remembered I’m going to be 3 very soon!”
Yes, Menjadi celebrates his 3rd birthday on June 11th – oh my, that’s today! Congratulations, sweetie!
Menjadi & Mama Chelsea
“I still can’t believe you’re finally back!”
Dear Michelle,
That was a great tour and it was worth it!
All the protagonists were in a great mood for this photo session.
Meerkats are the cobots in the zoo and the lion is the king there too.
I also like the capybaras because they kind of remind me of guinea pigs.
Many thanks and best wishes!

Dear Michelle!
Thank you for these great good-mood pictures of Jimmy’s farm! You’ve done a marvellous job of capturing all the animals, they look healthy, relaxed and content. I liked them all: the tigers, lions, badgers, meerkats, capybaras and especially the orangutans and beautiful Berit. They are beautiful and lovable animals in a good zoo!

Dear Michelle!
You brought the wonderful pictures. Kuza liked his breakfast. Shakura is a beauty.
Berit had a nice time in the water. Menjadi and his mother are still very close.
Hugs
