New Zoo

The local zoo just added a whole bunch of new animals and a "Trail of the Tiger"  We decided to go on opening weekend for a short little while.  It was fun but very busy.  Unfortunately a lot of the animals are new to their homes and spent a lot of time in their enclosures.  They had to put meat out in the grass to get the tigers to venture more than 2 feet from their night houses. The orangatans were in their enclosure wrapped up in blankets.  The zookeeper said it can take up to a year for them to feel comfortable enough to wander around freely.  It was also too cold for the new birds, so they won't be out for another 2 weeks.   We will have to go back in a few weeks when it isn't so busy and the animals have been around a little bit longer. 

These are the only animals that got their picture taken. I think they are the best animals at the zoo.
