I know spring break is over, but I hope you had a good one! :) For my spring break I went to St.Louis, and we decided to check out the zoo while we were there (which I'm glad we did). First off the zoo is Free! The fee is paid for by taxes.
The picture you see above is of the little train in the St.Louis zoo, that takes you around! For the train, you do need to buy tickets, but I would definitely recommend buying them. 1) Because the zoo is really big and it is easier to get around with the train 2) Because it is really fun! The train takes you through tunnels and past water features.
The day we went was really great because it was very sunny and all the animals were out! At my hometown zoo you are hard pressed to see the bigger, more exotic animals such as lions and tigers. 
I only got shots of the male lion, the female was hiding.

Tigers!
After we saw the tigers, we went over to the zebras. The last time I went to the St.Louis Zoo (which was about four years ago) a boy about eight years old climbed into the zebra exhibit. Thankfully his mother got him out before the zebras even noticed him. Anyway, I have a nice picture of a zebra butt for you.
Next we saw the leopards. There was a baby and a Mama, so cute!
We walked away from the exhibit for awhile and I look back and the baby was nursing! I tried to get a video of it, but they were already done. But the video is still cute! Here it is: Next we saw a snow leopard on it's back:
Here is a camel, I think there really cool. I'm mean what are those humps for? And where did they get them? Hang on a sec. I'm going to go look it up....Okay, I'm back. Looks like the camels humps are to store fat. And they get energy from it when there is not enough food or water around. If you want to know more check out this website, that is where I got my info. http://www.worldstory.net/en/camel.html
While we were at the camel exhibit we heard some kid making the weirdest noises. When we looked around we saw it was a donkey!
After that we saw a giraffe nursing. Did you know giraffe's have purple tongues?
When we went into the bird exhibit i saw one of the prettiest birds I have ever seen. A Golden Pheasant!
Do you see the green and orange tiger stripes on it? So cool! Then we saw Wattled Cranes, I was really excited because Sukyong, Mia, and I had been making origami cranes (expect a post on that coming up!)
Chimpanzees! They look so wise! And resemble humans so much, especially with how they act and their facial expressions!
So that's it because the zoo was starting to close. But we had so much fun! For more information on the St.Louis Zoo check out their website: http://www.stlzoo.org/
Thanks for checking out our blog! Blogging has been so much fun for Sukyong and I!
