Going to the Denver Zoo these days is still much different than it used to be, thanks to the coronavirus. You have to make a reservation in advance, and often the best times are taken. Also, you have to follow a one way route, and if you want to photograph the twin lion cubs before they go back into the lion house in the early afternoon, you have to go through the entire zoo before you reach them. I know it is the way it has to be, of course, but on the bright side, you can take lots of photographs of the the other animals on the way, such as the two giraffes in the photograph on the left.
I was also able to capture a sweet moment between Kylo, the baby zebra, and it's mother, as seen in the photograph on the right. Granted, Kylo does not look all that much like a baby anymore, but it is actually only a little over three months old. In fact, there was another baby zebra that was born at the Denver Zoo a few years back. I was able to take a photograph of it right after it was born, and even then it seemed pretty damn big. I imagine the mother must get pretty damn surly carrying that around for 13 months (I discovered that gestation period for zebras on the internet, by the way, so it must be true). I guess a mother's love knows no bounds, even in the animal kingdom.
