FUNday and CATurday in Milwaukee

25.2.2023 by Michelle Rippey

Sunday is a FUNday with the harbor seal family. Young Leia, mama Cossette & of course, papa Ringo. Have a beautiful FUNday!

“HEY! Where have you been?! Come down to the viewing window.”

This is baby Leia who was born on May 24th 2022.

It’s CATurday & the snow’s about to start melting. Oh, Orya….I’m honored I get to see this side of you. Have a PURRfect Caturday!

Orya moved to Milwaukee from the Zurich Zoo.

Orya came out from behind the scenes with a head full of snow.

Tails up! It’s a “toss back Thur” to late last week. The beautiful & intense Patty Sharptooth & daughters (Amira & Eloise) were all together for a family photo. Definitely not a PURRfect background, but that’s ok (just focus on the lady lions).

Mom Patty still hasn’t moved – she’s busy keeping an eye on the girls who are PURRfect bookends. 🙂

  2. Dear Michelle and dear Mervi!
    Thank you so much for the cute and chubby seal family, the beautiful, snuggle-soft snow leopard and the smart lion mother and her pretty daughters, which I really enjoyed looking at and admiring. The photos are super and show these wonderful zoo residents in Milwaukee in all their beauty.
    I also really liked the subtitles and the successful play on words in the title.

    Hugs
    Anke
