Da ZOO!

My dad surprised us by taking us to the zoo in D.C.! :)

We saw tons of animals, but I won’t show you ALL of them because that would take a really long time. But this post will still be really long. :P

Otters! They spent a really long time trying to open that oyster.

Panda! :)

This is a Golden Lion Tamarin.

And this thing, heh, is a Pale-headed Saki. (Glenna—it’s a Saki!! Haha :D)

It was funny lookin’.

That little furball is a Geoffrey’s Marmoset. (IT’S SO FLUFFY!!)

Elephant shrew! Everything in the small mammal house was really funny looking. :D

Meercat!

Exit the small mammal house.

Cuz this ain’t no small mammal. It was a REALLY big komodo dragon.

Joel was pretty excited about this place.

This is a big starfish. They named him Patrick :)

GIANT PACIFIC OCTOPUS! It wasn’t actually that big.

This, on the other hand, was HUGE! I mean, for a lobster.

I know it’s not a good picture, but now you can tell how big it is!

Next, the reptiles!

Check out the colors on this one! It’s a Green Crested Basilisk.

That’s an anaconda, the worlds largest snake! Eeeep!

Chameleon!

Heh heh. Radiated tortoises.

Green tree python…ugh…I am not a fan of snakes.

Eastern Diamondback rattlesnake! Scawy!!

This thin was really funny looking. It’s a Grand Cayman Iguana.

Next, we saw the BIG animals!

 

 

RAWR!

 

 

Then, my favorite part--

You may not know this, but I LOVE gorillas! :)

This is an orangutan. His name is Kyle. He was very sad-looking.

But he played tug-o-war with Josh! They had set up a big rope so you can play with them!

Heehee! :)

Yay! Gorillas!! (They were eating their…their…well, you know…ewww!)

They were also eating cardboard! I mean, the zoo people give them cardboard to eat! Maybe to distract them from eating their…their…you know…ewww!!

Aww baby!! :)

Next: D.C.!
