March 17,2009 We went to the zoo

Today Jonathan and I went to the zoo. I'm hoping that the pictures will help bring some of you here to go with us next time. =)
The zoo has 3 different types of monkey's. When they get going boy can they get LOUD! The only thing that seperates us is a circle of water. The are very afraid of the water.
Here's a close up of some of them.

Our pretty birds.
This one was looking at my camera to see if I had any food.

On of my favorites, the Meerkats
We have new zebra's. These guys have a brown strip on them. They also think that 4 of the females might be pregnant.
This is our Bengal. We have two, one white and one yellow. Nothing obstucts our view of them. A waterfall seperates us from them.
A little fence seperates us from these cute baby Lynxx's. Look at his paw.
The other baby.

We also have Gators. They also have a big pool.

Hey, a foot print! Can you guess what it is?
The caretaker gives our elephants things to play with. Today he is playing with a stick. This helps keep the elephants from getting bored.
The foot print was from a giraffe.
I took a bunch of pictures of he male giraffe eating his treat.
Look at his lonnnnng tongue.





Ya, I like the giraffes too. =)
Jonathan does too.
this is how close you can get to the giraffes.
This is a scull of an elephant
From the side you can see their teeth.

Can you guess who these foot prints belong too? The big ones.
