Australian Adventure

It has also been a while since I went through the Australian Adventure so I thought it might be nice to check out the animals there again.  There wasn't too much movement, but it was nice to watch the animals.

Sharks and Stingrays

I felt it had been too long since I went and saw some of these animals, so I decided to check them out.  I'm glad I did!  It was so neat to be in the building all by myself as I watched these beautiful sharks gracefully swimming.

Sea Lions and Penguins (500th Post!!)

First I want to start by saying I can't believe this is my 500th post!  Wow!  I didn't think I would be such an active blogger, but I love this easy way for me to document my work and share it with anyone who is interested.  So thank you for joining me on this journey!  😊

While I was walking towards the Indonesian Rain forest, I could hear quite the commotion coming from the sea lion enclosure.  I didn't think too much of it.  But after I was done walking through the rain forest, I walked over to the sea lions and quickly figured out what was going on.  The number of sea lions had doubled from 2 to 4!  Elektra and Valkyrie were exploring their new home for the first time.  They were so curious to see everything around them!

I played a bit of hide and seek with Raury, the clouded leopard.  She's probably my favorite animal at the zoo.  She's gorgeous!!  😍

Red Pandas

I love watching Anne and Oolong together!  They are both SO cute!  Although I have to admit, I think I prefer Oolong with his much more prominent red face.  He is so cute!  😍

Sumatran Tiger

I was SO happy to see Indah up near the fence (I mean, I think it was her and not Bugara, but I could be wrong)!  She was stalking some kids that were running back and forth.  She paced along side them, and occasionally looked up, spotting me through the glass.  I stayed for a while, even after the kids left.  She's such a magnificent creature!

I realize these animals don't make much sense grouped together like this, but these are the last of the pictures I have from this trip and I wanted to post them.  😊

Serval and Porcupine

I caught the Serval taking a bath.  He left his tongue hanging out after he was done.  😂  I am SO happy that I finally got pictures of the porcupines!  They were both actually up and walking around!  There weren't many people nearby so I had plenty of space to move around to find the perfect spot without a terrible reflection on the glass.

Banded Mongoose Babies!

Spotting babies at the zoo and having the opportunity to watch them grow is another reason I love going to the zoo so often.  These baby banded mongoose were very difficult to photograph because of how much they almost constantly ran around.  They are SO cute!
