Date Day – Part 1- Seeing Spots

Because it was President’s Day and a holiday, Larry had the day off from work, though he did go in for a half day. When he got home, we headed to one of our favorite places, the Wild Animal Sanctuary. It was a beautiful day. Most of the animals were out enjoying the day too. The bears were the only ones not out. They are still hibernating, though a couple did come out of hibernation for a bit. But all the big cats were out and were thoroughly enjoying themselves.

It was fun to see the leopards and the jaguars out and about for a change. Usually they are kind of shy and don’t like all the attention, but that wasn’t the case this time.

First, the leopards. The black leopard didn’t come out too much, but this leopard was definitely liking the camera and the attention.

This is the best I could get of both leopards together.

Once again, sorry for the bad picture. Sometimes you just get what you can get.

The WAS got in a new black leopard who was still isolated from the others. He was just enjoying life in his new forever home. He couldn’t be bothered with all the paparazzi.

We also saw some jaguars, both black and spotted.

After seeing all kinds of spots and stripes, it was time to leave for the day and get something to eat.

Have a great day and make everyday great. Life is what you make it, so make it fantastic. May 2026 be filled with happiness, good health and prosperity for all. ‘Til next time.
