San Francisco Zoo - Giraffes and Polar Bears

Giraffes have always been one of my favorite animals.  I don't know why, but they always seemed like a friendly, gently sort of animal, and the ones at the San Francisco Zoo didn't disappoint.

Polar bears, and bears in general, have somehow grown near and dear to us.  We've only seen one truly wild black bear in the wild (and he was in a BIG hurry to get away from us), but we're always on the lookout when we're up in the Sierra.

Happy Tuesday!
