zoo trip pictures!
Posted: Sun Mar 25, 2007 9:17 pmI went to the zoo today with Michael and his friend Rob. I got some neat pictures and I figured you guys would enjoy them!
Silly meerkats!
Red panda I was sad he didn't come closer so I could get better pictures, he was so cute and fluffy!
Sloths, I can't believe how long we stood there watching them. You'd think it would be boring but somehow it was just hilarious to watch them do something simple ridiculously slow.
Some kind of monkey/babboon? I'm not good with ape species...
This guy was cute, there was another one in the enclosure about half his size who wouldn't sit still long enough for a picture
Don't know what these are called but I love them! Big ears...
We spent a loooong time watching the lions, I think the boys liked them the best
Mmmm lunch...
Immature...yes. But it amused me to see a big lion acting just like a housecat.
I was particularly fascinated by the peacocks. They're just so pretty!
And of course...
Unfortunately all the turtles are in a section called 'USS Antiquities', which is basically a rock cave/tunnel with aquariums built into the walls, and it's far too dark for photos, so I didn't get any, but I did see a bog turtle and a spotted turtle, as well as several gigantic (at least 24") aquatic turtles, but I can't remember what they were called.

just teasing. i went to the philly zoo years and years ago and didn't get to see any bats. i made a few subsequent trips to my local zoo, and every time the bat caves were closed. boooooooooooooo! but i hear they're open again. i love the bats
