St. Louis Zoo

We had the wonderful opportunity to visit the St. Louis Zoo this past week. It was a perfect day. It was about 65 degrees: not too hot, not too cold. We saw a lot of animals that normally are asleep in the heat of summer. These are just 10 of the 101 pictures I took.

Mother Lioness.

Zebra. One of the only animals Little Bit can say clearly.

Sleeping Jaguar.

I can hear this camel saying, "What are you looking at? I know I'm not as ugly as you are."

This momma orangutan was .... HUGE!

One word for the penguin habitat..... COOL! They had you really up close and personal with the penguins.

And the butterfly habitat was also really awesome as well. There was a waterfall, and it was really quiet, and very peaceful. These butterflies were all over and just beautiful. These shots were made with my macro lens and about 18 inches away from them. It was awesome.


This is NOT a zoom on this giraffe. This is how close we were to it. The kids were holding out leaves, and the giraffe was reaching over the rocks and the fence, and grabbing them.

Isn't this cute? I guess it was naptime. :)

I hope you enjoyed a small tour of the St. Louis Zoo. :) If you ever get a chance, you should go.

Hugs,
