**Spirit passed away on March 8, 2013. I will miss seeing this beautiful animal when I am visiting Great Bend. RIP Spirit I'm sure you will be missed by many.**

]]>This year old giraffe, named Hope, was born with severely deformed rear legs. She would have died had it not been for a caring vet who treated her with a procedure that had never been performed on a giraffe before. She is now able to walk on her own and is doing great! ~ Photo taken at The World Famous Topeka Zoo, Topeka, Kansas August 10, 2011.

]]>This colorful bird was walking along side the path quiet as could be. Had it not been for someone else pointing him out I may have not even noticed him. His bright blue feathers kind of make him look like he's dressed for a tropical vacation! Photo taken at the Topeka Zoo, Topeka Ks.

Swan

kkhphotos@rocketmail.com (KKH Photos) — Thu, 20 Jun 2013 00:00:00 GMT

]]>This beautiful bird was letting his mean side show the day I took this shot. He was wondering down the path at the zoo in Great Bend, Kansas as I approached the lions. He didn't want me to get near the lions and began biting, and snapping at my shoes, ankles, and monopod. He even grabbed onto my pant leg and tried to pull me away. Now I call him The Lion's Guardian.

Young Orangutan Swinging On Fence

kkhphotos@rocketmail.com (KKH Photos) — Thu, 20 Jun 2013 00:00:00 GMT

]]>This little orangutan was playing with a group of children through the fence of his habitat. They were all having so much fun that when I'd try to focus on the orangutan I'd mostly see a red/orange furry blur as he went flying off in another direction! Photo taken June of 2010 at The World Famous Topeka Zoo in Topeka, Ks.

Young Orangutan With Blanket

kkhphotos@rocketmail.com (KKH Photos) — Thu, 20 Jun 2013 00:00:00 GMT

]]>Another shot of the baby orangutan from the Topeka Zoo. You can tell from the blur of his foot that he was really swinging around that fence. While playing with the group of children on the other side this little guy tossed his blanket over the fence for them to catch. One of the zoo keepers later returned the blanket, I guess the orangutan thought a game of catch would be lots of fun!

Gorilla

Susie

kkhphotos@rocketmail.com (KKH Photos) — Thu, 20 Jun 2013 00:00:00 GMT

]]>Susie was born in 1954 and currently lives at the Sunset Zoo in Manhattan, Kansas. She is blind in her right eye and I have cheated nature for the sake of this photo by cloning her good eye over the bad.

In the wild chimpanzees live an average of 40 to 45 years. Susie has defied the odds and at 56 years old, in August of 2010, gave birth to a healthy baby!

Although I have had a chance to visit Susie and her new baby I haven't yet had a chance to photograph her again. I can tell you that the new baby is very cute and I hope to have a chance to get some photos of the two of them soon. Next time I'll leave her eye as it is, she seems to be doing just fine with it that way.

Photo taken in September of 2008.

Who's Watching Who?

]]>I'm not sure if this bright eyed monkey was happy to have company or if he was begging to be let out from behind his bars. Either way this is another early shot that remains a favorite of mine. Photo taken at Brit Spaugh Zoo, Great Bend Kansas.
