After our delightful lunch we took a lift out to the zoo. A cold front had blown through and it was just a little bit of rain falling on us so it was a great time to get into a car. Traffic was pretty bad so when we got to the zoo, we were ready to walk. The rain continued on and off so we ducked into as many indoor exhibits as we could. We had a great time even though there were a lot of people. We still got to see a lot of different animals but many of them were shy and/or sleeping inside their houses.
The Fishing Cat. There were pools of fish in the enclosure with this cat
The small clawed otter
We Watched the keepers put a bunch of food out in the enclosure perin the enclosure. However they did not let the elephants out to enjoy their treats so we kept on moving
