A trip to ...

The Houston Zoo

Less of a trip and more of a ‘just passing through’ actually ..

First stop .. the Koala Bear..

But the other dude was kinda mad at his bucket for some reason:

Moving on to the Giraffe’s.. They were in this wide open space… so I thought i’d better catch them from the ‘other’ side..

continued…

to the Lions..

They had this huge space to themselves with fishies in the pond and green pasture and all.. i’d plunk down big dollars to get a corner plot like that one.. (not necessarily with them there though).

It started getting late, overcast and chilly so we headed towards Kemah… watch out for the Kemah thread.

Great pics.Looks a bit like Safari Park in Montreal.

Lions.:love:

nice pics:k:

Thanks for liking the pics..

Oh I love gorillas. I can sit for hours watching them. I feel so bad for them being locked up though. Usually they turn their backs to everyone and are probably sick of being stared at. But the last time we took our daughter, one of the gorillas waved back to her. It was so funny. Gorillas are very receptive to children.

^ me too… the last time I was at the Bronx Zoo, the gorillas there seemed to enjoy entertaining the visitors. they were running around smacking each other and grinning :smiley: one came rite up to the glass, pressed his face against it and made funny faces.

PA, nice pics :k:

well the strange thing is they were being reclusive that day.. couldn't spot one.. maybe napping somewhere in some corner..

Thanks for liking the pics y'all..
