I haven't been in zoo for ages, but whenever I have time I go to watch seals in the Sealarium at the Baltic sea. Great fun;)

My favorite animals at the zoo are the monkeys. sarah@forrussia.org
ReplyDeleteThe gorilla - because they remind me of my Dad. A little hairy, a little large but one of smartest creatures on this earth.
ReplyDeleteI love to see giraffes. They are just such a unique animal :). Sadly, our zoo here doesn't have a giraffe anymore (Washington DC).
ReplyDeleteBeen loooong time since going to the Zoo! Love it tho... We always loved to watch the Polar Bears swimming & lounging on the cliffs...they are so big! And the Giraffe's too...they are soooo Tall & Elegant looking.
ReplyDeleteThe bears are my favorite animal to watch. -- soparkaveataoldotcom
ReplyDeleteI like them all. The tigers are great.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to the zoo for almost 10 years! Time I went again!! My favourite is the giraffe. At Perth zoo they now have a viewing platform so you can get "up close and personal" with the giraffes. Would love to do that.
ReplyDeleteLong time since I was in a zoo! However when in Singapore we visited a zoo and the orangutans were a joy to see - it was as if they could tell exactly what you were thinking. So gentle and intelligent.
ReplyDeleteI love to visit the elephants. Their sheer size alone is awesome. I do feel sad seeing them caged though.
ReplyDeleteI love watching the monkeys play. It seems like everytime we go they have some new babies.
ReplyDeleteI like the Penguins. I just think they are cute, especially when they waddle around. These stuffed animals are so cute!
ReplyDeleteGiraffe's, I absolutely adore them, I'm such a clumsy person and am amazed at how they don't trip over those long legs! Cute book giveaway...thx.
ReplyDeleteHi there Anorina,
ReplyDeleteI just love, love going to see the giraffes! They are so quiet, but their stature makes me wonder what they are really thinking about!!!

We love the monkeys of course and the seals.
ReplyDeleteI love to watch the meerkat's they are a cute animal with lots of personality
ReplyDeleteMeerkats! They are such funny creatures that are incredibly mysterious. I love visiting to be able to watch them in their large groups keep watch!
ReplyDeleteThe giraffes, cuteness overload!!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the hippo at the zoo. I don't know why they are so fascinating! I rarely see them move but I get so excited when they are in a different spot or are actually doing something when I'm there!
ReplyDeleteI love the meerkats,
ReplyDeleteThe family bonding - I love that!
So helpful to each other,
Like I wish Miss 2 would be to her brother!
