Tapir?

Great shots, Steve. Zoos are made for photographers, aren't they?

Great set, Steve. Giraffes nowadays are so funny... I bet you rhino can beat my rhino anytime with his super sharp horn.

They're all great. I love the tapir especially - looks like it's laughing hysterically.

Awesome shots Steve! Loving your family zoo trip shots. The frogs are fabulous. Your mutant giraffe is a cracker too. Love the PP on the rhino, it looks great.

Now Steve, there is never anything common about a frog, they are so cute and so are giraffes by the way. I could go to a zoo and spend all my time watching giraffes and meerkats. Oh, did I mention they were great photos, looks like you had a great day at the zoo.
