Zoo Trip(Pics included)

Post by Kyuubi no yoko » Sat Jan 05, 2008 6:52 pm

As promised here are the pics. Unfortunetly this is ONLY a fraction of what this Zoo has especially since their renovations are going on. I also have a special treat for you all. I reall think they need to enable code on this site. It would make viewing these pics easier.

1. Hissing cockraches (make wonderful pets)

2. Some critter with day geckos. (Geckos not in the pic)

3. Red Agutis(spelling)

4. Asian tri colored squirrel

5. A type of Mynha(spelling)

8. Gray/Grey Wolf. (Sorry for the poor quality, they did not want to be photographed and the plastic infront of the viewing area made it harder.)

9. Siberian Tiger. (This is the first time I have seen them in the winter and this close)

I hope you enjoyed these as much as I did. I am really proud that I live in the same state as this Zoo. They are completely top of the line in my opinion.

Oh wow, thank you for uploading these ^^. The red pandas are adorable, we have some at the Auckland Zoo but they're still young. The grey wolf looks so amazing. I love the colour of it's coat.

Oh that's the first time I've seen a video of a Mexican wolf. They're stockier then I thought they were, or is it just their winter coat?

I start feeling pretty lucky when I see how many on here who have never seen a wolf in real life. They are beautiful. However, I've never seen a tiger IRL.. I wish I could, but there's no zoo close to where I live.
