I’m hopelessly behind. These pictures are from our zoo visit in Arkansas. Back in June.
Bennett woke up that morning and popped up. “We’re going to the loo!”
We picked a very hot day, so most of the poor animals were hiding. There was also some major construction going on, so a few of the animals weren’t on display. Including the “libra” and the “wino”. Yeah, zebra and rhino just isn’t as much fun.

I love the big cats. I can sometimes get a good picture, but this one has the glare from the glass/plexiglass/whatever they use to keep the lions from eating people

After seeing all the holes in their habitat, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t want to live near where they live in the wild, but they sure are cute.

There are 3 elephants. Because of the way the habitat is set up, we never saw more than one at a time, and they refused to pose for me.

Plingin boy. The boys LOVED the penguins. We had to see them twice and I had to drag them away both times. (After LONG visits with the penguins.)
We watched the penguins for a very long time. Bennett was sure that a certain penguin was his friend. He named it and everything. It was cool watching them do that floating thing. (I’m sure that’s the technical term.)
