Knut and Other Berlin Animals

Stopped off in the Berlin Zoo to see Knut and some other zoo babies. Berlin seems to have some animal husbandry program, and they had lots of young guys. The baby lions were my favorite. We stayed until closing time at the zoo, which was also feeding time for the big cats. The noise in the background is an angry oselot waiting for dinner.



The Panda was getting so close! He was more into showing off than the Pandas in Washington DC. Those Pandas were hungover. I swear.











I was surprised how close the zoo allowed you to get to the animals.






Eoghan could have reached in and grabbed one of these Penguins. Nothing good would have come of it, but he could have.






Remember Knut? Cutest polar bear baby of all time.....
















Well, he's is all grown up now... but still pretty great. He spent most of the time we were there taking some kind of snow bath.




We finished the night off with some Glühwein (hot, sweet wine) at a Christmas market outside.
