Hot Sun and Lots of Poo

Here’s where we went today

These were the first animals we saw on the way in. Gee, they held very still for their photo!

I know I really shouldn’t mention this just in case Katie is reading, but it was mid 80s today with not a cloud in the sky. Yes, it was just too hot at times! We started with a bus tour of the park and that was a good orientation. This is a very big zoo!

I won’t do this in order, but here’s some classic zoo inhabitants. As far as habitat goes, I wouldn’t rate San Diego any higher than Denver but certainly more variety

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

San Diego has Pandas! We saw the mom and the baby panda. Apparently she is a prolific mom and, as is standard, cares for the babies until they are about 18 months old and then literally wants to be completely separated from them.

 

 

San Diego also has an australian outback area with very large koala population

 

That one had way too much eucalyptus! And there’s more, California Condors

Polar Bears

 

A very smelly camel

And an interesting buddy program for this wolf and other ambassador animals

 

But this may have been my favorite sign.

Aw, let’s all have a hug now!
