My day at the zoo *picheavy*

After 23 years here in NYC, I am finally moving and heading down south, so before I go I want to do all the things I never did here before. Im a total tourist now. Today we went to the central park zoo!

Of course the animals I spent the most time with are the ones who do absolutely nothing, the REPTILES!

There were some other highlights too...

Monkey grooming time..



Gus, the polar bear was out like a light and snoring LOUD, with his favorite toy very close by.




This is the Toucan whos feet hit me in the head when he flew by LOL They have an indoor rainforest, and the moment you walk in you could die. Its like 105 degrees and 100% humidity, but thats where all the animals worth seeing are. Its just birds and rodents running and swinging around completely free.



On to the bat cave where its completely dark and you can barely see inside. My friend gets close to the glass and says 'Oh look theres a bat right there hanging' I get the bright idea to flash the glass to see it, and wahla, alot more then A bat. You can imagine how fast I moved on to something else.





On to the reptiles...They had all the boas in the same exibit as the frogs, is that a no-no?




Tree boa...




Rhino nose



I forgot what this guy was, someone else would probably know...

I dont know, these things remind me of the guys from the Wizard of Oz



Puffers



And right before we left we caught feeding time for the sea lions. At 5 after 4 these guys are hilarious. Their feeding time is late and they jump up on the side of the tank and start barking and looking like Uh Hello?. It was cute.

Really nice pics! and yes mixing snakes with frogs is a no no! lol..I really like the sea lions :0)

Thanks! I was rather surprised at how intelligent sea lions are. They put my dogs to shame! LOL

the things from the wizard of oz are black and white colobus we have them at work

I love going into those little Bat Caves! They usually smell like an armpit though! :sidestep:
