When I was younger, one of my many career aspirations was to be a photographer for National Geographic. Hence, I've got this obsession with the zoo because it was as close as I was going to get to actual wildlife. I'd also like to point out that if I had the means, I would be one of those psycho ladies who breeds lions in her backyard.
These were all taken at the Rio Grande Zoo in Albuquerque, NM, where I spent my Thanksgiving break. (Edit: Albuquerque in general, not the zoo.)
Wait, I lied. This last one was taken in Old Town. Let's just say there are reasons why New Mexico is called The Land of Enchantment. I'll spare you the long recap and say that there was food through the rafters, a heated arm-wrestling contest, and a trip to the burger joint where my friends and I would go during middle school. The burger joint was kind of like our version of The Max from Saved by the Bell, except a lot more ghetto.

I like the chair one best.
When I was younger, I'd heard of someone in California raising white tigers in their garage as pets, and I begged and begged my parents to let us have a pet tiger, too. They wouldn't give in, so I said that when I grew up, I'd be a tiger trainer and train my tigers to attack parents who wouldn't let their kids have pets. Oh, what a coquette little child I was.
What fun photos! I would totally have a lion or tiger in my backyard if that were possible/not incredibly stupid. And if I had a backyard. *shrugs*
When I was a kid, I wanted to be a vet. Whenever we went to the zoo, I could tell you random facts about each kind of animal. It was ridiculous.
I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving!
When I was a kid the man across the street from my family had an Emu. One time the Emu got out and I watched him chase the huge bird down the road. No lie.
I really like the flamingo picture.
