Yesterday we went to the zoo to see all the new developments there - they are transforming the zoo over the next couple of years and it has been nice to see what has been added over the last couple of years too.
I was very impressed with what they had added so far - and am excited to see how things look when it is all finished - it really did need to be updated as the cages in the old section are awful!
One of the new things they have is a play area near the arctic zone - and it is full of bones that are chairs as well as bones to climb and play on!
They now have pelicans in what used to be the sealion pool:
The boating pond was empty when we arrived - but as we left we saw that they had started to fill it ready for the summer season which starts this coming weekend.
This Barred Owl was so sweet - it only has one eye but was still so beautiful:
It was 25c yesterday - first hot day of the year and was just gorgeous:
We all fell in love with this cute Desert Fox who was curled up asleep for a while and then woke up and wriggled about in his bed:
The new seal and sealion pool is wonderful!!!
The children had fun exploring the new areas:
The concessions were not open yet, so we had lunch inside from the vending machines:
This arctic fox was very sweet - it will be moving in to the arctic zone soon:
Prairie Dogs are sooooo cute:
It was a lovely afternoon walking around the zoo and seeing the changes.
We had fun!!
