LA Zoo Trip

Last weekend I tool Emily to the LA Zoo since she had never been there. Here are some of the over 200 pictures I took. Yes I really took that many pictures.

We watched the Meerkats for a while. Whenever I go to the Santa Barbara Zoo they are never out so I was happy to see that these ones were out and sitting on a rock.

We checked out the stinking flamingos. They smell bad.





We saw this creepy looking bird watching us.









This oragatang (yep not spelled right) he was sitting by the viewing window checking us out.






This one was busy eating.








This is the big silverback gorilla. His name is Kelly.





The koalas were sleeping like normal.







This chimpanzee was picking his nose and eating it.










This lion was sticking his tongue out at us. Actaully he was licking the female lion and I caught him as he was trying to get hair off his tongue.






















The tiger was sleeping.













And the rhino was drinking water and opening his mouth for us to see his tongue.
























The Hippo was actually out of the water. We went back later in the day and he was in the water.




































This big bear was sleeping on a rock and then he woke up to stare at everyone.










































































This was the Meerkat when we first got there. He was posing on the rock. When I pulled out the camera he turned and looked straight at me. We had a really good time and I would love to go back again.
