I took this shot of a sun bear at Wellington Zoo. They're called sun bears because of the creamy round sun shape on their upper chest. (You can't see it in this shot) They come from the Southern Asia region. Visit Camera Critters to see more animal photos.

Time for a Drink
We came across these mountain goats on the side of the road near Mt. Rushmore. Hubby and I were more excited about seeing them than the president's faces. The animals ignored us as they took a drink from the water that trickled down a rock face. To see more...
Hello Deer

Easy Fishing
This photo was taken at the Goat Island Marine Reserve in New Zealand. The water is clear and the area pristine and full of fish. I took this photo of blue mau-mau from the rocks. People snorkle and dive here, but as you can see it's easy to see fish without getting...

Coolin’ Off
One of the animals Mr. Munro most wanted to see during our last trip to the US was a bull moose. We came across this one while driving in the Grand Teton area. It was a hot day and he was ambling down the small waterway, ignoring all the tourists taking photos of him....
Paint Mare and Foal
This is my eighty-year-old father's horse Arizona. She had a foal just over a week ago. Now he's a bit put out because he can't ride his horse around the farm, but he's as proud as punch of Arizona's foal. He's about ten days old in this photo and as yet, unnamed. He...
I’m Watching You
Mr. Munro took this photo at the Auckland zoo. When we visited Africa we saw quite a few hippos. We stayed at one camping ground by a waterhole where they came out at night and grazed by our tents. The hippo is considered one of the most dangerous animals in Africa,...
