Me and me dad walked about four hours, and we still didn't see the whole thing. We missed the Komodo Dragon House, Reptile House, Cheetah and Zebra House, and some Kiddy Farm. I did however get to see a bunch of amazing animals. I think my favorite place was the Bird Pavilion. I didn't take any pictures though because my batteries were dying. The cutest bird ever was the Tawny Frogmouth.
Ohohohoho~
^On our way to the Zoo. We were walking.^
^Looking down from a bridge.^
^Don't worry guys.^
This elephant is just in a small room cooling off. There is actually a large door leading out to a grand habitat behind it.
^ "I'm so cute. Yay." ^
^ It was hard getting a good picture of this lioness. ^
She was high up on some rocks, probably thinking, "humans are so stupid grrowl."
^ A prairie dog. These little critters reminded me of Angel-chan. ^
^ Me. ^
"Hey guys! XD"
^ The Gorilla House ^
This place was the worst. There were snotty kids running around screaming at the top of their lungs and tapping on the glass.
I was going insane! At one point, three gorillas were chasing each other and playing, but I couldn't get a good shot cause people were all up over the glass.
^ I might volunteer next summer. ^
^ "Mrrrrr..." ^
^ I felt compelled to take a picture. Don't ask. ^
^ Yes, there is a bad glare. But the poor guy deserved a picture. ^
^ This is supposedly Tai Shan and his mom. But all I see is a big ol' sleeping panda. ^
Elephant Drinking Water
^ I couldn't get enough of this little..er...large critter! ^
Prairie Dogs
^ So adorable. ^
Big Fish
The smaller fish were about two feet in length, and the big ol' one in the back had to be four or five feet.
Cool Little Monkey
We found this guy in an exhibit where the animals roam free. No bars for him!
That's it guys.
Hope the pics and videos weren't too hard on your PC.
And hey, it's like you were right there with me!
