 I took this at the Toronto Metropolitan Zoo yesterday. This little guy was just having a blast playing with the bucket. He must have been going at it for 10 minutes. And if you’ve ever tried to keep yourself entertained with a bucket, you’ll know that 10 minutes is an impressively long time. Momma-tang didn’t seem so impressed.

In my opinion, this would have been much nicer and interesting if it was cropped around the two animals.
