San Diego Zoo



One of the many highlights of our vacation to San Diego was spending a day at the San Diego Zoo. This Zoo was extremely clean, the vegetation and walking paths/bridges were just as impressive as the exhibits themselves.

 
Peacocks were hanging out at the rooftop of the entrance, giving us a show before we even got inside.







It was still early for the Flamingos.








The monkeys seemed to have just as much fun watching us, as we had watching them.

The Koala's are having a new exhibit built, it's supposed to open the spring of 2013.  These guys are so cute it's sickening.


Red Panda.



The baby panda was not on exhibit yet, but the adults were breathtakingly adorable and majestic.


This guy and his brother were brought to the zoo as cubs, they were being taught how it was easier to raid garbage cans than forage for food. Wildlife officials decided it would be best for everyone involved that they be transferred out of the Yellowstone area to the Zoo.



Baby Giraffe!

 They woke up! This is a second group of Flamingos, the Caribbean Flamingo, they were at the other end of the zoo. By time we got to them, it was 95 degrees and 5 hours from when we started.
