I’m Going To The Zoo, Zoo, Zoo … How ‘Bout You?

So I just can’t resist a zoo.  I know that there are ethical concerns about wild animals caged up but I just can’t help myself.  The Леннинградский Зоопарк was just a 30 minute walk away from my hotel and the weather was warm and mild.  How could I resist going to the oldest zoo in Russia?!  I had no excuse.  They have nanuit and pelicans and chameleons …  CHAMELEONS, I tell you!

There really was NO choice, was there?





How do they contort their bodies into this shape?!!!  I can barely touch my toes.

Hang on, I'm just updating my FB status.  be right with you.

Whatcha doin'?
I love that she was drawing the giraffe.



Pelicans - their beaks can hold more than their bellies can!  This one's for you, OGIA.

Bunny Pile!

Did you seriously just poop in front of me and walk away?!!!!  UGH  Thanks, pal.






Who decided that this was the bird that brings babies?  I wouldn't trust it to deliver the news, let alone a baby!

He had his eye on me the whole time.

Zoo Cat!

So.  Very.  Tired.


Ummmm  Put that thing away, please.  there are kids here, for crying out loud!



This one's for you, Mr. Good.  I hear you like goats.
