Today, my dad had to work at the zoo for a few hours early this morning so I went with him to help him. After everything that needed to be done was done, we had an hour to walk around the zoo before everyone arrived!
The elephant in the picture above would have to be the cutest animals I saw. He was one of the baby's (in saying that though, he was born in 2010) and he was absolutely adorable! Even though I know that he is only eating, in this picture he looked so happy!
I know I took so many photos of the elephants but I mean, look how cute they are! That elephant in the background of the photo above was trying so hard to get food out of that blue bucket!
The giraffes were also one of the highlights as I got to feed this big one in the second photo. The first photo of the giraffes I also thought was really cute because they looked like a little family and the last photo I just thought was cool with the city in the background.
The first chimpanzee was actually hilarious to watch because it took a while to find what it thought was good position to sleep in and tried out quite a few before finally deciding on the one in the pictures but the second chimpanzee looked really lonely and sad and we thought it might have been the older male?
This bear looks really weird in this picture but it was trying really hard to get all of the food out of the container which was also really funny to watch!
These lions weren't really interesting because they were sleeping but I thought they looked pretty cute. These are two females and the male in the middle is facing the other way and you can see a little bit of his many if you look really closely.
These mountain goats looked like they thought they were kings which I thought was pretty funny!
Now this snow leopard was one of the two at the zoo but the other one wasn't in a position I could get a photo of so I had to attempt to get a photo of this one which was extremely difficult. It was pacing back and forth rather quickly and it kept geeing behind trees and rocks and every time it got into view it would move again. So I apologise for the not so good quality of this photo!
The red panda enclosure was right near where my dad was working so it was one of the first animals I saw and because we were there so early it also meant that we were able to watch while it good fed for the morning before everyone arrived and was very cute as they both scurried down the trees as soon as the food was laid down!
I'd just like to tell you that it is not a whale in the photo above like a lot of people thought when they saw this photo but a leopard seal which is one of the enclosures my dad has fixed up!
Also the penguins in the first photo were really cute because they were chasing each other and it seemed that they were playing tag! Also I am sorry for the people in the reflection of the glass, by the time we saw the penguins, the zoo had officially opened but we were lucky because it was one of the last animals we saw!
And last but not least is the views from the zoo which were breathtaking!
I hope you enjoyed the photos and I'm sorry to those who don't like long blogs but I couldn't resist!!!
