Birthday at the Zoo

December 10th, 2015 · 3 Comments · Uncategorized

For Susan’s birthday, we traveled to the far corner of town and visited the Wild Animal Park.  We watched an Angry Bird show (the trainers were angry at the stubborn birds):Angry Birdsand camels:Camel Ride

China is famous for Pandas, but the Kunming panda was replaced by a few ostriches:Yes we have PandaThe main activity at this park is feeding the animals.  Here are some children feeding carp:Feeding Suckersand raccoons:Feeding Rackoons Feeding Racoons Closerand peacocks:People and Peacocks

Susan got up close to the peacocks too (click here: Peacock Feeding)

The best part of this park is the tiger exhibit, allowing visitors to get very close to these hungry beasts:Tigers all around

Tiger Looking Down

Of course, you can feed them too (click here: Tiger Feeding).  Since it was the eve of the Carolina-Clemson game, I toyed with the idea of spending more and feeding a live chicken to the tigers:Chicken foodIt was a nice day to spend together with the birthday girl!Incredibles

    Haha! I don’t think I would want to feed raccoons 😉 Elijah thought the picture of NaiNai next to elastagirl was funny!

    What a fun birthday! Although, I don’t know if any China zoo visit is complete without tourists throwing random items at monkeys
