Phoenix Zoo January 2015. I had to pick up some zoo tickets for an upcoming events door prize. One of my daughters accompanied me after work and we did a quick walk around the Phoenix Zoo. It was fun reminiscing about when they were young and the adventures we had at the zoo. These are a few of the animals we found.
The Amur leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis), also known as the Manchurian leopard. It is critically endangered, with maybe less than 30 individuals left in the wild.
We saw this beauty in a tree next to the road, close to Malelane Gate at Kruger National Park!

Safari in Yala.
Yala (යාල) National Park is the most visited and second largest national park in Sri Lanka, bordering the Indian Ocean. The park consists of five blocks, three of which are now open to the public. There are also two adjoining parks, Kumana National Park or 'Yala East' and Lunugamvehera National Park. The blocks have individual names, such as Palatupana (Block 1). It is situated in the southeastern region of the country, in the Southern Province and Uva Province. The park covers 979 square kilometres (378 sq mi) and is located about 300 kilometres (190 mi) from Colombo. Yala was designated as a wildlife sanctuary in 1900, along with Wilpattu, designated in 1938, as the first two designated national parks in Sri Lanka. The park is best known for its variety of wildlife and is important conservation of Sri Lankan elephants, Sri Lankan leopards and aquatic birds.
