Jaguar at Como Park Zoo by Teri Eckholm REALTOR

Even in a cage, a wild animal can be beautiful. Como Park is one of our favorite family places to visit and take photos. I have done this since I was 17 and a freshman at Hamline University. For fun, I would ride my bike a few miles over to Como Park Zoo and take photos of the animals. There are more fences rules about feeding the animals than when I started taking pictures. Back then the cougars and jaguars didn't have the screens that I had to shoot through here. But the kitties are just as pretty as ever!

Teri, I love to take my camera to the National Zoo. I've gotten some wonderful shots of the big cats. They love to pose.

Hi Teri, I have experienced this and it is really something to see a wild animal sleep and at peace. There is something very beautiful in the experience. There is an innocence that is difficult to explain but more easily felt. I wish animals and humans lived more harmonious so each could have their own safe natural territories for natural existence. But I am at the same time very grateful that I could experience them even in a zoo. Zoos today try so hard to provide at least an acceptable healthy environment.

I'm very fond of the cat family members. Here in California we actually had a Mountain Lion, who was a fraidy cat. It ran up into a tree, while chased by a German Shepherd. And that was just this week:-)
