The rest of the Zoo

Here are the rest of the photos from our
zoo adventure

Creepy toothed goat!

 

Yes, I laughed

 

The new baby giraffe was really cute, but I started to suspect she wasn't real because she didn't move at all...

The small animal building is the most memorable from both of our childrenhoods. This was the first time a bird left a nasty present on my shoulder.

The giant tortoise was inside. 

 

This thing!

 

Sand Kitty

 

This was the first time that most of the animals were awake and alert, especially the reptiles and amphibians, that I can remember.

The wolves are usually hidden from view up the hill, but this one came down when a zoo truck was near.  The eerie thing was that he kept staring at the little children, like he is in this photo.  

This guy was hamming it up.

 

What an odd bird... 

 

They are redoing a lot of the zoo.

I was very upset to learn they no longer have red pandas, at least for now.  This was the only one in the whole zoo :(

 

 

They are turning a lot of space into a new African safari encounters thing.  I'm sure it's going to be great, but it makes me sad to see all of the old stuff they took down to do it.  Steven and I were talking about how the zoo our children will grow up with will be nothing like what we remember.

It was the perfect day for a zoo stroll :)
 

 

 The End
(Yup, I did that)
