The zoo V-day 2009

When Reed, Melanie, and I went to the zoo last valentine's day we saw this sad little animal pressed up against the glass. The zoo keeper overheard us and came up and told us her story. Apparently she was about 15 and her new mate the male was less than 2 years old. The keeper said she desperately wanted kids but that her mate was still to young to father them, and she was reaching old age and next year would probably be too late. So I took this sad little picture.
