A Perfect Day at the Zoo

Today I went to Woodland Park Zoo with my dad.  A friend and I tried to go to the zoo a couple of weeks ago, but all the parking lots and side streets were full.  I mainly went to see the new baby giraffe (also known as a calf) there, but when we arrived, we found out that there were several other animals that had babies there as well - so, that was a pleasant surprise.  The weather was pleasant enough, that many of the animals were active.  Here are a few photos from my trip:


Above:  The baby giraffe, with his mom and his aunt.  Unfortunately, the dad died before he was born.


A lion cub.


 Otters swimming.


A jaguar and her cubs.


A hippo swimming.  I felt like this at the end of the day.
