I'd encourage you to click on this pup--it's a fatty.

Inspired by The Weekend in Black and White (via Count your Chicken!)

one San Diego zoo pic, then I type...

 

This is probably my favorite pic from the SD Zoo trip, AND it's a native species (bonus). If you click on it and zoom in, you can see some of the amazing iridescence on the male's head. STUNNING. Until the 1st time I was in this exhibit, I didn't even know they had iridescence on their head. Swoon!
