We went to the DC National Zoo. It was so much fun. Our friend Mindy and her husband, Dickson, were in DC so we ventured up to visit with them. We enjoyed doing some sealings at the temple and then wandered around the zoo. The weather was beautiful, although a little humid especially for this time of year.
We were very excited to see the Panda Bears. So we went to their habitat to see them. We were not having success, but at last, we found them having an afternoon snack, munching on some eucalyptus.
Then we came across a couple of otters tumbling around in the water. It was entertaining to watch as they played.
The Gorillas gave me a hard time when I tried to photograph them. Every time I walked around to get a better angle, they walked the other direction. But we managed a few photographs anyway.
Then we saw an Orangutan chilling.
We visited with the reptiles. This Caiman wasn't to happy to see us, and we were pretty glad to not be to close to him as well. We learned unlike the alligator, the Caiman does not have any commercial value, like to make boots and such. His skin is too hard. But Isaac is looking into making some armor with it since he's so tough.
Don't you hate it when someone takes a picture of you sleeping with your tongue hanging out. Sorry Blue Iguana.
We saw some Lionesses lazing about.
And playing with the cubs.
And the Lion walked around and roared. It was pretty cool.
Some cute cubs were playing with each other as well.
And this, my favorite photograph, was an awesome Tiger. He looks so peaceful.
We had a great day and learned a lot.
