Zoo Day With Z

Today Zoe and I spent the day at the Hogle Zoo.  It was actually a nice day for it.  The weather wasn't bad and the crowds were small.  Here are a few pictures from our day.
 
 


 

cute squirrel - hard to see from the glare in the picture though. :(
waiting for the show to start in discovery theater


 
Feeding the Ducks

 
what's a visit to the zoo without a ride on the train

 
They did a good job with this new section of the zoo

this elephant seems really popular with the crowd.
It actually sprays water out it's trunk.
 
 

 

I hate the glare from the plexiglass :(
 

 

 

Not the most exciting bears
 







 




The polar bear would swim under water up to the glass. Then she would come up out of the water and float backwards into the water.  Then dive under and do the same thing again and again in the same spot.  Made for some fun photo ops.











 

yes, I actually broke my own rule and allowed someone to take my picture.  lol

 
 
 
another hit attraction at the zoo 
 
is it just me or does he look like he wants out?




not the prettiest sight at the zoo - yuck!


I wouldn't mind a pet like this.  Not a big cat fan but this one was cute.
 
poor meerkat,  they really need to move the garbage cans to give him a better view






another cute cat that I wouldn't mind having.


It spent a long time chewing on this plastic block
Not sure what it was trying to do.



 
We picked the wrong route home
Got stuck in all the traffic from the UTAH game.
