Zoo Trip

Yesterday Wendy, Jolene and I took a quick trip to Calgary to go to the Zoo!!! I was super excited as I haven't been to the Zoo since I was little. The Calgary Zoo is pretty great as far as Zoos go- their habitats are all appropriate for the animal and they have quite a lot of space. Everything was clean, and all of the animals looked healthy and mostly happy. There were a few animals that I couldn't help but feel sorry for. I just have mixed feelings about keeping large animals such as Elephants in captivity. Anyway- like I said the trip was great and we had a lot of fun. Jolene was like a little kid as she had never been to the Zoo. We spent the whole day wandering around and did the whole zoo except for the Prehistoric part.

All of these photos are from Wendy- I didn't even think to bring my camera!

I had a hard time picking a favorite, but I really enjoyed the wolves- their habitat was huge and they had lots of stuff to do. Only the big black wolf was up and about while we were there- the others were napping. He was pretty spectacular. Very serious and intense.

This is Red Kangaroo- much smaller than the regular ones.


The Zoo had four or five tigers and one really large exhibit. I have a feeling they don't get along too well so only one was out in the big habitat and the others were in smaller ones. This guy posed for Wendy for quite a while.


And what's a trip with Jolene without the classic Tourist pose. :)


Thanks for the great day guys!

Oh, and you will probably get to see more Zoo photos on OneCollie's blog and Crazyandlittle (both on the side bar)
