Petting Zoo

My surprise was a Petting Zoo. Mommy and Daddy let me out of the stroller to run around and pet the goats they had. I liked petting the goats, they had big ones and little ones. They also had some birds in some cages, and donkeys and a alpaca. The goats where the only animals you where allowed to pet. But I didn't care.

I hope you enjoyed my trip to the Nashville Zoo. I can't wait to go again.

Red Panda

This guy was active, he kept walking around his cage, so he would get really close to us. I thought he was kind of cute.

We are in the home stretch of our zoo adventure. Mommy and Daddy said they have one more surprise for me. I wonder what it is......

Clouded Leopard

Yet again another sleeping animal. Mommy told Daddy that next time we come it will be right away in the morning when they are all awake.

He woke up a little bit only to fall back to sleep again.

Cougar

Mommy couldn't wait to see the Cougars, she loves big cats. This was the only picture that turned out. And of course they where sleeping, so nothing exciting about watching them.

Guenon

I thought the Lemurs where hyper, guess the Guenon showed them up. There was one sitting close enough so Mommy could get some pictures. I think the Guenon is some kind of monkey.

Lemurs

The Lemurs where very active. Mommy couldn't get a decent picture of them. That is til she found one sitting in a tree. I wasn't to sure of what to think of them. So we didn't stay too long.

Koi Pond

As we walk across the bamboo bridge to see what is next, we come across a Koi Pond. The fish in the Pond where so big. And they are really pretty. We watched them for a little bit before we headed to see the Lemurs.

Bengal Tiger

As we continue down the path some more we come across the Bengal Tiger. Guess none of the animals wanted to move around as they where laying so far back Mommy couldn't get a good picture of them.

Since they where just hanging out we didn't stay long to watch them.

Ostrich, Eland, and Zebras

Next we saw the Zebras, but there was a bonus as we also saw an Ostrich, and an Eland. Not sure what an Eland is but it was big. I guess these animals can live together. All the other animals where only paired with there own kind.

Unseen New World

We went inside this building to see what they had in there. We had to leave the stroller outside so I got to walk around a bit. They had spiders, frogs, snakes, lizards, alligators, fish, and bats. I didn't care to look at the bats. Mommy couldn't take pictures in there since it was so dark, but she did get some of me looking around.

Saddle Billed Stork

After the Meerkats we came across some more long legged birds. These where Saddle Billed Storks. They must like the yucky water they where standing in.

Meerkats

It was fun to watch the Meerkats as they dug in the ground. Daddy said they where trying to escape or dig up the rock. I hope they where not trying to escape.

One of the Meerkats came right up next to where we where standing. So I got a good look at them up close.

Masai Giraffe

After the Elephants, Daddy said we where going to find the Giraffe's. We didn't have to walk very far before we found them. Must have been lunch time as they where all eating. The have there food high up on the rocks, so they don't have to bend over to eat. I suppose with those long legs it would be hard for them to eat anything on the ground.

After we watched the Giraffe's for awhile Daddy looked at the zoo map and said we are off to see the Meerkats
