Bonita is Eight!

Bonita, our female Maned Wolf turned eight years old on the 12th. We celebrated her birthday in true zoo style on the 13th. She had a huge birthday bash that went on all day! Here are some pictures:

First, here's the birthday girl:



And here are the cardboard animals she got as her first gift of the day:


And here she is trying to get the mouse out of the box:



Later that day she also got presents. Here she is checking out her present:



Bonita shares the exhibit with a Tapir and two Giant Anteaters. And in case you've never seen either of these, here are some pictures. :)

Brazilian Tapir, Pico:



And here he is checking out Bonita's box:



Giant Anteaters:

(this picture also shows the fake termite mound that the keepers made for the anteaters. I think they did an excellent job on it! :))
