A Day at the Zoo

Here in Wichita we have one of the top 25 Zoo's in the country. Not sure exactly where it ranks but it is a wonderful zoo. If you are ever in Kansas you should check it out. Last weekend and this weekend we were able to get into the zoo at a huge discount so we were able to actually go and have a nice walk around. Normally it is too expensive for us because well, we're poor, so I was really happy to get to go. I'm a bit like a kid in a candy shop and I love to take pictures of the animals. I took about 100 the first day and a few more the next week of a few animals that were in better positions or more active. Because I took so many I thought I'd share some of my favorites.



I happen to be a big fan of the cats, so I have a ton of pictures of them. But I'll start with my Lion King pictures as I like to call them!















Now for some others :)



A Kookaburra






I don't remember what this was called, but I thought it was really pretty.







This looks like a giant red fox but is actually a maned wolf.







This guy was just sitting beside the path waiting to have his picture taken!







Giraffe of course.







Momma Tiger







Daddy Tiger







Red Panda







Black Bear







More birds from Australia







Gorilla







I thought it was super cute that the hippo was sleeping with his face against the glass!







This is an Okapi, it is the only known relative of a giraffe.
