Many animals were off exhibit due to the cold, but here was a majestic beast who thrives in the cold weather |
|
Hokey-pokey, anyone? You put your left paw in... |
|
After rolling in the snow, he took a catnap |
|
Does he look at us and see a meal? |
|
Suddenly, he came to the windows and began swiping his enormous paws down the panes, as if trying to scratch the glass away and attack the startled folks on the other side |
|
These were not friendly greetings and everyone was grateful for the barrier |
|
But after a few strong slams, we all wondered how strong the barrier was |
|
Perhaps he realized he couldn't get to the folks outside, because he seemed to shift gears to curiosity |
|
And then the feline nature we all see in our domestic cats came out |
|
We were all wishing we could actually rub his neck -- okay, maybe not |
|
Up close and personal |
|
If you visit the Racine Zoo in the winter, this fella is not only very active, he's very INTERactive with visitors, and it's an experience never to forget. |
