STL Zoo

[Chelsey]

I went to the STL zoo yesterday with my mom to take some pics. Here are the results:

Some kind of antelope thing:

New baby elephant born not too long ago:

Butterflies inside the insectarium:

Chimpanzee:

Bald Eagle:

Baby Orangutan:

Peacock:

Puma/Mountain Lion/Cougar:

What appears to be a stoned camel

And last but not least, an anemone from their coldwater system. The room inside the living world that has all of the tanks in it is being gutted so that they can put a giftshop in it, so this will soon be gone to another zoo :

Your first pic is of a Kudu I believe. It is a very quick deer like animal found in Southern Africa.

Love the stoned camel

We should all boycott the museum until they decide to put the gist shop somewhere else............lol

Chelsey, thanks for sharing. My wife and I make a habit out of visiting any zoo we come across. If we're headed to a new area we've never been, we even check to see if the area has any zoos or aquariums. It's always nice to see others.

oooO, love your pix. I went to the SD Zoo Memorial Weekend. Sadly, whenever I go see the reefs that zoos have now, I am no longer impressed by them since I see so many beautiful tanks here hahaha. xD hm..actually, Monterey Bay Aquarium had some really nice ones

I was wondering how you got pix of the bald eagle without any bars/wires. Is it not in a wire cage like SD Zoo? Or do you have a telephoto lens or something?
