It was still a little warmer that I would have liked (90 degrees in Oct.), but there was hardly anyone there and the animals were out and about. We got to see many of them up close and we could stay and visit as long as we wanted with each animal because there weren't a ton of other people waiting to see them, too!
The White Rhinoceros was grazing so closely to us that we could hear him eating the grass!
The elephants were active as well.
We were able to watch how this elephant drinks water through his/her trunk.
Lucky for us, he/she was really thirsty!
I could barely get Alexandra to take her eyes off the elephant long enough to snap a picture!
The cobra was crawling all over the place!
The girls are always excited to go into the reptile houses...they are my least favorite!
We needed to get a little map lesson into our afternoon as well!
Alexandra did not want to be left out of the map lesson.
She asked me to take this picture of her with the map!
We always LOVE when we have close encounters with the apes!
These two were definitely marking their territory, but luckily they were just eyeing each other down
and no physical contact between the two was made!
The apes were so close to us we could have touched them (if not for the very thick glass between us)!
After this picture, one of them came and sat down with his back leaning up against the wall and glass!
