We had to walk past the polar bear exhibit to get to Africa. I love the back view of this dude sunning himself after a swim.
Heart of Africa includes a large open area for lions, giraffes, ostriches, gazelles, zebras and wildebeests.
My "old" friends might remember that I love the lions, so they get their own picture. Apparently there was some mating going on earlier in the day but we missed that.
More of the zoo:
We were also lucky enough to see some babies! The black and white colobus babies are only 3 weeks old (and apparently they're all white when they're little). And we saw the gorilla who is about a year old.

The weather couldn't have been more perfect and we got rockstar parking (because Michelle was driving, so of course we did). I hadn't been to the zoo in a long time and it was a great afternoon!
Fabulous photos. I love sleeping animal photos. And of course animal babies.
ReplyDeleteI just went to Columbus Zoo in April! Too bad I went a little too early and missed the new exhibit. I guess I'll just have to go again and check it out. Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteSuch great pictures! I feel like they are always hiding at our zoos. What a fun place!
ReplyDeleteThat polar bear photo makes me so happy. I kind of wish Betty White was hunkered down in there with him, sprawled out and napping.
