The Milwaukee County Zoo has a pair of cheetah brothers- I’m not sure which one this is, but he did seem to be a little playful, peeking around a tree.

    Themba and his son Hubert share a face to face moment. It was the first time they had seen each other that close – The moment was magical.

Two very curious and friendly moose.

Mahal is a special little orangutan. Rejected by his birth mother, Mahal has found a place at the Milwaukee County Zoo with his surrogate orangutan mom, MJ.

  Bonobos are one of our closest primate relatives.   Appearing to be deep in thought, this bonobo quickly returned to the others in the group.

    A favorite of mine, Tom is an adult male orangutan from the Milwaukee County Zoo.

    Cassisus is a male Western Lowland Gorilla – and as a silverback he currently leads a group consisting of two females, Naku and Femelle.  I have had the chance to photograph him many times and  he seems very comfortable in front of the camera.

  Pat is a jaguar from Belize who is now living in Milwaukee at the Milwaukee County Zoo.
