Zoo behind the scenes 2011

For the 4th year we were invited to go on a behind the scenes tour at the OKC Zoo. This time was especially exciting since we had a new baby elephant named Malee born earlier this year and they have a huge new home. We got to go inside their huge barn and get up close to them. It was so amazing and baby Malee is so cute you just want to hug her

This wasn't part of the tour but I got a good shot of the beaver as we walked by

Check out those teeth!

We also got to feed the grizzly bears again. It's hard getting good pictures of them because of the cages but they are really sweet, funny animals

Is there a bear behind me?
