A couple of weeks back I went up to the Minnesota Zoo as they were have a members only introduction for the new Hawaiian Monk Seals exhibit and remodeled Discovery Bay area.

I believe this is a display of living coral...



Moon Jellyfish

A Seahorse

A Little Crab

One of the Five Hawaiian Monk Seals They Have Now

One of the Brown/Grizzly Bears

Tigers




A Takin

These little Goitered Gazelle are so hard to get pictures of. They are usually hiding just over the ridge of this hill of their enclosure

A Bactrain Camel

An Dhole/Asian Wild Dog

This is the ampitheater where they have bird shows and music concerts during the Summer


Well, that should be enough for this entry. Part 2 to follow. :)

Very cool!

Great pictures of the tigers! They have tigers at the Bronx Zoo, but you can't really see them unless you get the premium tickets.

Thank you. :)
That sucks that you have to get special tickets to see some of the animals. :(
We have another zoo, The Como Zoo, that's a free zoo. I should try to get to it this Summer.

Regular admission for the Bronx Zoo is $19.95, but you have to get a premium ticket for tigers, gorillas, butterflies, Jungleworld, and the Wild Asia Monorail.

There's another (smaller) zoo in Central Park (with assorted penguins), there's the Queens Zoo (where I once volunteered), there's the Staten Island Zoo (which I've never been to), and apparently there's also a zoo in Prospect Park. Central Park costs $12 ($16 including 4-D), Queens costs $8, Prospect Park costs $8.

WOW, basic admission is $20? :o

Love the shot where the tiger is staring directly at the camera! :-)

I was surprised to see the two of them out and so active. Usually they are hiding out along the fence lines where there are lots of bushes.
