I tried to make this a wordless but it was impossible.  I got dragged to the Bronx Zoo the other day kicking and screaming.  Kicking only because it was 20 degrees and I knew we would have to be outside to see the "good stuff."   So I bundled myself up and off we went.  It was extremely cold and most of the place was closed but what little we did see I have to admit was extremely worth it.  Anyone who knows me knows how much I love animals and I could watch them all day.  Unless I am somewhat frozen as I found out that day.  More pictures will be forthcoming.  I took this on my phone because I did not bring my camera.  I didn't want to have to lug it around and knew I would not be able to operate it with my heavy gloves, jacket, scarf etc...

This was the first time I have ever seen a rhino in person and I was just several feet from him and he was magnificent.  I managed to squeeze in and take this picture and he was almost medieval looking.  I was in awe of such a creature.   When I go back this summer (and I will!)  I will have my camera for sure and will take lots of pictures.

Never thought of a rhino as a cold weather animal, but glad you were both there for the pic!

Deb, as was said to me so many time when I was younger, that's a face only a mother could love. Nice shot, considering yiou used you phone with gloves and all.

Hi Debbie,  I wonder if he was freezing too.  That's a really good shot from your phone.   We went to the zoo a few weeks ago too.  I can't imagine how cold it must have been at the zoo in NY.

Debra - Even though my son is now 23, I still go to the Bronx Zoo and love it! Now I take my nieces and nephews.

Hi Debra, 20 degrees is a little chilly for visitors and rhinos, too I would think.  They are amazing animals aren't they?

Thank you for all the comments.  I am glad you enjoyed the photo!  I need to re-clarify though.  Everything was outside except for him.  He was inside (and the birds I will post)  He was in a very small area that had heat blowing on it.  Still cold but not like being outside.  He seemed very content though.  As you can see he was munching happily on his hay.  If anything he was maybe missing a mate!      :D

Debbie - nice shot - glad you commented to clarify I was wondering how that big guy was able to be out in the cold so very not like his natural habitat - we're going to have to take Brendan to the Bronx Zoo this year. I haven't been there in many years now. He'll love it. Thanks for catching up on my blogs today. I love it when I get multiple successive new email dings (with no other posts that day) as I know someone is cruising through multiple past posts. Hope all is well with you and a busy spring/summer starting to come into view. :)

Craig-Thanks for stopping by!  I wish I could get to your blog more often!  You definitely have to take Brendan to the zoo.  It was phenomenal even with parts of it closed.

Debra, I'm also catching up on blogs where I am a subscriber.  I'm glad that I haven't missed any of yours - even if I am a few days behind. I probably wouldn't catch up today though if there was a champagne brunch near me. LOL

The photo is great - especially knowing it was taken using a phone.
