"Someone told me it's all happening at the zoo ..." | Eastern North Carolina Now


Here the Lioness stays on the high ground, well fed, but instinctively always ready for the hunt: Above. Suddenly, the lioness finds a state of repose, eyeing her prospective prey with a supreme confidence in her innate abilities to finish the job: Below.     photos by Stan Deatherage

And then her grim reality sets in. The Lioness remembers the barrier that keeps me safe, and her hunger never truly satisfied: Above. I wonder if the Lioness ever considers: Would these Pink Flamingos make for a fine afternoon snack for me and my pride? Cats have always loved the taste of birds. Think Sylvester and Tweety Bird, but on a much grander scale:Below.     photos by Stan Deatherage

Besides the larger predators and the insignificant prey, there are donkeys and long legged foxes indigenous to far away lands: Above and below.    photos by Stan Deatherage

In the low light of this fine dying day, we see the Reptile Discovery Center: Above. And the open doors to the Small Mammal House: Below. Even though these exhibits are outstanding, it was a beautiful day and I had limited time, so I remained outside.     photos by Stan Deatherage

I see this thatched sculpture, and I just cannot leave without seeing the elephants: Above.     photo by Stan Deatherage
