Hubby shocked me yesterday by saying he wanted to go to the Wildlife World Zoo for his birthday! That would normally be me wanting to go but go we did and it was a great day. This zoo is closer to our home and started out really small. It has grown and grown but maintains a closeness with the animals that other zoo's don't. The pictures will explain...(double click for the original size)
and baby wart hogs...
They have a Jaguar cage that allows them walk over the top of you and what a picture opportunity to capture this spotted one sound asleep, I've never seen one so close and he looked so sweet.
What a great day......
I have always had a way with birds and can usually get them to come close.
Don't you love the feathers on top of his head:)
Awesome!! preening his feathers
Not only did I get him to peek his head out but he also tried to say hello!
Now this is the best part!!! They have added a Baby animal nursery and what a special treat....
Two baby mountain lions..a girl and a boy
A baby lion chewing on a stick
Baby tiger
and baby wart hogs...
He came running when he thought the camera might be food....
They have added a 180,000 gal. aquarium with a restaurant where you can have dinner or lunch and enjoy the view....check out the video from out table.
What a great day......

What a lovely day you two had. It's so nice when you can enjoy hubby's birthday present as much as he does.
Nothing is more fun than seeing baby animals.
Thanks for taking us along on your outing.
I can tell it's kind of new - with some newer animals...
Loved the fish video - right where you eat. Cool.
