Snuggling Baby Jaguars

In the fall of 2019 baby jaguars, Lulu and Bella, were born to the Memphis Zoo. They were recently put on exhibit. The cubs, both girls, were born to Diego and Philomena, both who were bright to the zoo with hope that they would breed. You can see a video of other animals from the zoo, including Winnie the baby hippo and Bogie the baby giraffe on my blog. Follow my blog at www.karenpulferfocht..com

Two Baby Jaguars Born to Memphis Zoo

Two female jaguar cubs behaved perfectly as the Memphis Zoo veterinarian Dr. Felicia Knightly gave them an exam on Thursday October 10th, 2019. The parents are Philomena and Diego who were brought to the zoo with hope that they would breed. The 36-day-old sisters are eating well, shown by their perfectly little chubby bellies. They are about the size of full-grown housecats.

I photographed this Eagle on Whidbey Island in Washington State, earlier in the week that this story ran. It was perched on top of a piece of driftwood alongside the water at dawn, waiting for its prey.

WINNIE THE HIPPO GROWING SO FAST!

Winnie the baby hippo plays with her mother Binti while on exhibit at the Memphis Zoo. Winnie was born in the spring of 2017 and as she has been one of the favorites at the Memphis Zoo. Winnie is growing fast from 70 lbs. to an anticipated 3,000 lbs. Her mother Binti stays close and is very protective of her big baby. The hippopotamus is among the most dangerous animals in the world as it is highly aggressive and unpredictable.
