Animal House

I know it took a while....28 years to be exact....but Alan and I finally made it to the Los Angeles Zoo today. I don't know what took us so long. It is a nice zoo and it's also considered a botanical garden because of the lusch vegetation. I don't know why we never once took our children there when they were young. We did, however, take them to the San Diego Zoo a couple of times as well as the Hogle Zoo (in Utah) several times, so maybe that makes up for not taking them to this zoo. It took about 3 hours to see everything so we got some good exercise in while walking the grounds. Does that make up for the cookie and ice cream that we ate?

This is the grand entrance to the zoo.

This is just inside the park. You can see the pink flamingos in the background. I love flamingos!



Although he is pretty ugly and is missing the horn on his nose, we enjoyed this Rhino.


I especially love looking at the big cats and tigers are my favorite.



This made me think of King Kong. What a big brute!



What's a zoo without a little necking, right?

I can't believe you didn't take your kids when they were younger! Tsk tsk tsk. Ah well, I'm glad you guys had some fun.

That tiger sure looks healthy. Probably doesn't even need its claws and teeth to still do some serious damage.
