Annual Zoo Adventures


We found the zoo was infested with dinosaurs this year. Moving, spitting, roaring dinosaurs!







We rarely see the wolves when we visit the zoo, they are usually quite hidden in their little forest. So we were quite excited to see this white wolf.
And this grey wolf was pacing around near the fence.


I love how big cats sleep in the same positions house cats do.
I think giraffes are one of the most bizarre creatures!
Having to brave the lions mouth to get a drink of water!
Due to the dinosaur theme, there was a huge sand pit with fossils to uncover that Geddy absolutely loved!
As always, my trip to the zoo caused conflicting feelings. I love having the opportunity to see such amazing animals up close. And I know that without zoos a lot of these creatures would be more endangered if not extinct. However, I always feel sad that they are penned up in fairly small enclosures and not in their natural habitat.
