Peek and Pounce

The Minnesota Zoo has an event they call "Snacks with Santa" in December. It's fantastic event and afterward we go wander about the zoo. This year the weather was awful. We were late but made it safely to the Zoo.

 

There were so few people who braved the weather that afterward we wandered about and literally had the place to ourselves! We went long stretches of time (20 minutes) without seeing other visitors. This means the animals were more themselves than usual.

 

The two Canada Lynx were particularly active and playful, chasing each other through the fresh snow and bounding about. Here one of the lynx is about to spring across the enclosure to surprise its companion.
