Lu is a 50-year old hippopotamus that lives at the Homosassa Springs State Wildlife Park. He was left at the park many years ago after he was part of a movie.
The Flamingoes put on quite a show when they are excited. They strut around, holding their heads high and squawking loudly. We enjoyed watching them!
Homosassa Springs, FL Dec. 14, 2009 These pretty pink birds are quite a treat to see. I photographed this one at Homosassa Springs State Wildlife Park. It was in an enclosure, so I was able to get quite close. I wasn't so lucky at Sanibel Island, where we saw them in the wild. The bright pink patch on the wing indicates this bird is an adult. Spoonbills use their unusual, flat bills to catch small crustaceans in the mud.
