We went early so the animals weren't tired of everyone looking at them yet. And a lot of them were being fed.
Zoo pictures are notorious for being really boring. I didn't have my zoom lens with me, but some of the pictures turned out really good anyway. One lady we ran into said she decorated her playroom with blown up pictures she had taken from this zoo...I thought that was a cool idea. So here they are:
The flamingos flapped away just as we got there....
...but they came back and settled down.
This guy was bravely trimming the grass around the chimpanzees. He kept looking over his shoulder to see where they were and to make sure his wife was throwing the banana peels to them from across the water. Very entertaining.
Look at this fish picture!! A little scary if you ask me.
Diego LOVED it all. He's at a great age for the zoo.
They have some beautiful birds there. A lot of them are towards the back of the zoo, so maybe I just never made it that far before.
Diego was cautious around the giraffes.
A definite highlight was watching the rhinos eat. They were SUPER close and every once in a while let out a tremendous snort that sent us jumping.
The wise and aged galapagos turtle gave us a nice smile.
And the peacock chose not to open his beautiful feathers, but he's still amazing anyway.
Diego's keeping his eye on that peacock as it strutted around the picnic tables.
It was a great day...we beat the heat, and you can never go wrong if a snow cone tops it off.
