Taiwan - Taipei Zoo, Pangolin Phone Booth

A Taipei Zoo series posted from another trip begins in March of 2016, but it's different every time you go to the zoo.  There might be something new, you'll see something you hadn't noticed before, or the weather's different, which affects the activity level of the animals.  The variation is limitless.

And this time was certainly different from our last visit there.  For one thing - and most amazingly - the weather was fantastic.  We were there on May 28th, which would normally have been unbearably hot, but a rare cool front moved through which kept temperatures in the low 70's all day with a comfortable breeze that kept the mosquitoes away.  Additionally the clouds stuck around, a boon for picture takers like me.  I could not believe our good fortune that day, and took advantage by snapping away as long as chip space allowed - this was our last touristy, photo-taking activity before leaving and they were just about full. (Typically I shoot using the second chip as backup.)

So this photo was captured outside the zoo grounds on the way to the entrance.  Tomorrow's post inaugurates this series with one of the most unusual exhibits I've seen anywhere...
