National Wildlife Day

National Wildlife Day will be celebrated on two dates, February 22 and September 4, to double the effort to help bring awareness of the plight of wild animals around the globe. National Wildlife Day encourages wildlife lovers to stand up and fight for animals that need a voice, to visit their local zoo and donate what they can to make a difference in the lives of our beloved animal friends.

Here are some wildlife photos that I've taken over the past few years:

We who love our cats and dogs, birds, ferrets, hedgehogs, gerbils, and hamsters also love all critters!

Support your local wildlife societies, and make sure the animals are treated well.

This includes your local humane society, and any rescue that you come in contact with.

We are their voice; please don't ignore the plight of the animals around you.

From Eastside Cats to Toledo, is just over an hours drive.

We were there on a cool, misty day, which was good because the crowds were low.

I took over 300 photos...

The Snow Leopard and cub were amazing to watch in particular, as were the Elephants.

We discovered a vegetable garden, that they use to feed the residents...which seems so very smart!

Cannot say I'm a huge zoo fan, however it's quite obvious that this zoo takes care of it's charges well, and has lots of open space and enrichment, tailored to every living creature.
