The new pic thread

CoT: Ah yes, there are few things more Swedish (and thus nostalgia-inducing) than a combination of summer, sea, beautiful nature and Evert Taube... Dag is looking twice as worthy as his namesake, by the way, as befits a feline. I really approve of the choice of name :D

So yeah, I went to the zoo today:

Baby elephant! And somewhat older sibling:

hyena, Arch, Siren: Thank you very much :)

The zoo is in Borås (where I happen to live) and this was the first time I visited it. I was pleasantly surprised by the standards, all the enclosures looked very nice, most had grass, water, trees and rocks, and the tigers even had their own waterfall (as did the penguins). They even have a "savannah" area where buffalos, zebras, antelopes and ostriches, among others, are kept together...
I got over 200 photos, so here are some more :D Sorry, everyone on 56k...
