Back to the zoo. We have been to the zoo with our friends now a total of 3 times, and we always make sure to check out different animals each time. This time we made sure to see the elephants! On our way there we passed by the koalas, who are in a temporary home while their new place is being built. They look like little round balls of fluff that would be super soft to cuddle! :) As we were there, one little guy was moving all around, which was fun to see.
Next we headed to Elephant Odyssey! The girls stopped for a photo op in front of the big sign and then we traveled through a collection of fossils in the walls and then stopped by the information desk, where we got to see and touch an African elephant tusk, a jaw from a saber tooth and the paw of a 12 foot bear! The elephants were only out for a little bit while we were there. The workers were cleaning up the area and then it was bath time for one of the elephants! Also living near the elephants were llamas, lions, jaguars, tapirs and some other weird little animals that had cute little babies :)
Around the corner from the elephants, were these cool birds - which I'd have to look up the name of -, and the meerkats! The meerkats were cool cause they'd randomly pop out of their holes and scurry across to the next hiding spot.
Our final stop was the giraffes! Suri had on her giraffe leggings, so we had to get a picture :) The babies were so cute and the giraffes always seem so peaceful. Unlike their neighbors...
These rhinos got in a scuffle. It seems the one rhino wanted to move, so he woke up his buddy in quite an obnoxious, bullying manner. So his friend plopped down in front of him to steal his sunlight. At least that's how the story played out in my head :)
All smiles at the end of the day! Thanks again to our friends for a fun filled zoo day! XO
