Zoo Traveling last month

Over Fall Break I had the opportunity to tour behind the scenes one of the oldest and biggest zoos in Seattle, Washington.
Woodland Park Zoo

That's my boys and my daughter-in-law at the entrance to 92 acres of exotic animal fun.

We are trying to get enough funds to build our own Zoological Center here in the Grand Valley of Western Colorado. We are going to be much smaller, but everyone starts small.
The nicest people took us behind the enclosures and into the commissary, animal hospital, and workshops to show us how they build and maintain the zoo. 

Of course it rained. . . It's Seattle, where it rains nine months out of the year, but we still enjoyed our visit inside and out of the Woodland Park Zoo.
You have to see at least two pictures of the animals.
This little Red Panda was hurt, so he was in the animal hospital.





This male jaguar looked relaxed as a wire wound too tight.

Look for more pictures next week.
