well, this isn’t all the animals at the zoo, but here are a few that we saw.  by this time it was about an hour before closing so we were walking very quickly in order to see more animals.

the polar bear was hanging out, but since it was such a warm day you’d think he would have been hot.

rhinos, staying cool.

I wish we could have had more time to watch these cheetahs.  there are eight cubs and a mom.  they were born last November, so I think they’re full-size by now.

I did get a little video of them playing.


talk about darling…the cubs when they were just three weeks old!


the elephants were the last animals we saw as we zoomed through.

 

whew, that’s all for the zoo in September.  I went into the zoo gift shop a few minutes before closing and suddenly wanted to buy everything they had there – they had a lot of that wonderful free-trade stuff, and I kept shopping and shopping.  I finally staggered out at 5:30, and we were quickly hustled off the zoo grounds because it was already closed.

a good time was had by all.

ok then,

mrs. October hughes.
