A day at the zoo

Still can't figure out why flamingoes stand with only one leg.  This photo has some ostrich and giraffe in the back.  This zoo is pleasantly nicely organized.  The price is really inexpensive, like 500 yen, but we had free tickets from our Welcome to Kagoshima packet.  So we only had to pay 300 yen for parking.


Usually when we see peacocks, we never get to see them strut their stuff.  This time, we saw not one but two and they both did it at the same time.  Wow, I hurried to get photos of both of them.



This huge tortoise just doesn't seem to realize there is a wall in front of it.


Do not walk and take pictures at the same time, otherwise you might end up in the pond.  This narrow path zig zags through the pond.


For a moment, we thought they were huge boulders but they are just hippos.  They sure do look like boulders when their heads are submerged in the water.


Baby giraffe!


This photo is for Mei, our granddaughter, who just loves her stuffed animal "White Tiger",  Well, this is the real McCoy, large but cute one.
