Zoo/Animal Drawings.

 Today was warm and sunny so I took the drawing class out to the Zoo to study and draw the animals.
It’s the only place where you can go to experience non-indigenous creatures up close and personal.
 It’s also kind of "cool” to see the little kids get excited seeing the animals for the first time.
I knocked out a couple of quick sketches while I was there.

Some individual Aldabra giant tortoises are thought to be over 200 years of age.
This is difficult to verify because they tend to outlive their human observers.

Common Elands form herds of up to 500 animals, but are not territorial.
This Eland was banished by a territorial giraffe before I had a chance to finish the drawing...
