I think this trip will take up a couple of posts! Come to the zoo with me!
These guys were monkeying around.
He and his brothers need no introduction.
Kookaburra did not know which way to look before he started singing.
Kangaroos were gathering for a mob rest period.
This duck kept going underwater, but there was nothing for him to catch!
One Wallaby is hiding!
The emu was looking for bugs.
Next I went to the Butterfly Exhibit. After being warned to watch where we walked. A group of us were let into a very humid environment where the butterflies were flittering about, landing, eating and delighting everyone.
Where is this one going?
Here!
Some wings looked as if they were cut outs, so delicate.
Some of the butterflies were very bright on only their bottoms or tops. I didn't know that was the way it was. I mistakingly thought that the colors of their wings were the same on both sides, top and bottom. So, when some of the butterflies landed, I was excited to see their color had changed from when they were flying.
They were all over.
I really like it when they were near flowers.
Went out and saw the Emu again. He makes a deep rumble that you can feel vibrating through the air. See the little kid?
They have a bunch of tortoises here. Those little tanks can move! Here are a few. More to come!
The Snow Leopard was very Blahzay! (I know I spelled that wrong
)
Does this guy ever stop eating?
These lions were a hoot! They moved in unison. It was amazing. Both turned their heads in the same exact way, at the same exact time, same with paws and tails. The little kids were laughing and not believing they were real. So many parents were arguing with little ones that these were not robots. They kept looking over into the field where those hugely-horned cattle were. Twins, perhaps?
The Debrazza Monkeys were on the move!
This little fellow finally landed so I could get a shot. There were a lot of pretty little birds; but my camera ran out of batteries! Fortunately, I had my camcorder!!! So, next post will be zoo photos from the cam!

Once there, before exiting, the docents had to check everyone had no butterflies attached to them and that the vestibule had no butterfly waiting to escape.
All in all, quite an experience.

Might be too hot for me...
Never gambled, also; seen too many addicts and don't want to find out I am one....
Maybe I will go gamble one of these days, though, feeling adventurous.
