Here we are!
This is me trying to be a...monkey...
The first thing we saw! So cool! We also learned today that a group of peacocks is called an 'ostentation'. Hee hee, fits, huh?
That reptile there in the back was freaking me out...
We went through the aviaries first, so many beautiful birds!
Those white poufs are sleeping birds...
Lovin' the red feathers
This one came right up on the railing!! We got so close!
This was over by the elephants...they are lions. Hard to get a good picture through fencing...and I hate to say it, but the big cats were lame today. All they do is sleep. ;)
Sitting on a big cat.
Riding the big cat.
Don't ask me what this is. I don't remember. That goes for the rest of the weird animals we saw. But his nose was funny.
With the elephants!
BIG elephants...
We got over to this exhibit and some kid had run up and was shouting, "Hey!! There's a camel stuck in that rock!!!!" Too bad he didn't stay long enough to see the camel come out. He was fine ;)
I LOVE meerkats. I don't know why. It might have to do with this funny show my little brother and sister would watch, where they had voices recorded over the animals to give them personality. The meerkats were the best.
One is always the lookout. In the little show, the hawk was called phil. All the meerkats would stand up and go, "where's phil? where's phil?" You can guess what I was saying the whole time we were over there...
This thing can jump up to 10ft from a standstill! Can't remember what it's called though. Shame, I know...
We watched an aviary show that was way cool. This owl totally swooped over the audience!
We also learned that a group of owls is called a 'parliament', interesting, huh?
So did this hawk!! It was pretty cool and it came so close to all of our heads!!! Eek!
I got a cool shot of this parrot taking off...
PANDAS! They were my favorite!
This panda behind me was passed out asleep the whole time we were over there. I don't think it moved once...
I just liked this statue..
We also learned that John weighs about the same as a 3 MONTH old polar bear! Holy cow!
Don't these have the funniest long necks?
We took a ride on the Skyfari Air Tram, which is basically a gondola that takes you back and forth across the zoo. It was really cool to see everything from above!
Too fun!
A lovely waterfall scene
So pretty!
This sloth bear totally climbed up his playhouse thing and climbed back down as we were watching! He had a hard time figuring out how he was going to get down though ;)
The koala bears were so cute all smushed up in their trees taking a siesta
The cuddling rhinocerouses (rhinoceri?)
I always get a kick out of giraffes' really long tongues. What funny animals...
This, strangely enough, is part of the kangaroo family
Here were before a sea lion show we saw later in the afternoon, and it was really fun! We like sea lions :)
Zebras!
Trying to stage a jailbreak. It was cool he came up so close...I think he wanted my water bottle.
And here we are after the long, fun day at the zoo.
Love the zoo! It's amazing how many different animals there are out there in the world. Pretty cool!
