Lions, Tigers, and Bears and more

A whole day at the San Diego Zoo and that is really not enough time to experience everything. Our feet were sure tired though. We walked pretty much all day from 9AM til after 4:30PM. Their Pandas on loan were out for us to see. They were chilled out, lounging and noshing on bamboo. We stopped by first thing in the morning and again shortly before we left and he hadn’t moved from his position right in the center of his bamboo pile. This park has an enormous number of rare birds from rain forest habitats around the world. We saw a lot that we had never seen before. One was an amazing big eagle, a harpy Eagle from the Andes. He has tussled grey head feathers and swivels his head a lot like an owl is pretty bizarre looking. He weighs 22 lbs but is fast too. He can catch monkeys as they swing through the jungle canopy. He was cool to see but nice to have a fence between us. There was a 6 week old Hippo, cute-homely. Environments are all done well. We had a great time.
