A Day at the Zoo

No... this isn't another school story :o)  We found the city zoo and decided to take Alex over his winter break... if you can call it winter here!  Although it was a fun day for Alex, he got to pet and feed almost every animal there, it was sad to see how dirty an environment these animals had to live in and how poorly they were taken care of.  A few had somewhat of a natural habitat to live in; but most of the animals were kept in cages.  I think the only food they get each day, is from the children paying a few pounds to feed them!

Alex is waiting for the tram.  
The tram runs through the middle of the city 
and we can take it to a few places.

The only camels inside the city!

This ostrich had made a hole in its fence 
to get to some food.







In the middle of the zoo, 
you'll still find some begging cats.
There's cats all over this city!

Hi, Friend!









Hungry, Hungry, Hippo!
