Sedgwick County Zoo in Wichita, Kansas. We visited the Zoo this past weekend after the K-State Shocker High School Track Meet. I am leery of zoos, but this one has large enclosures and the animals for the most part have lots of room to roam.
These grizzlies were active; the picture at the bottom shows the one on the left with a case of the sneezies.
Sea and river otters were used as a food source among some tribes along the coasts and NW shores.
The silverback gorillas collected sweet potatoes their handler threw to them.

This pair of geese were very protective of their goslings, chasing off ducks and other geese. The zoo was full of birds of various kinds sitting on nests.
Bald eagles who would rather be flying
Some very large carp
Tribute to the turkeys
Congrats to Tosh who won the steeplchase at the Baldwin Invitational and was 5th at the K-State Shocker. He runs the KU Relays this week.
