It's A Zoo Out There - Part Two

Our journey through the Lowry Park Zoo continues (click on pictures to enlarge)...

A frolic in the fountain
We gots them ole midday munchie blues. The Belle and I headed off to Reilly's Reserve to cop a squat, an ice cold beer, and a really tasty sit-down buffet in air conditioned comfort. While we were delighted with the roast pork, our two buds below chose salads.
Wally the wallaby

Zeke the zebra


We have ridden an elephant, and now we can scratch camel riding off of our bucket list.

A word of warning: The only negative on our zoo visit occurred at the camel ride. The $5 photo is of extremely poor quality and they don't care! Save your money. This picture required 30 minutes with Corel PaintShop Pro to get it as good as I got it. The camel was a sweetheart, though.

A pachyderm shower at the watering hole


An Okapi

Now that's a butt of which to be proud
While the Okapis resemble zebras, they are actually more closely related to giraffes.

The following photos are staged scenes found in Safari Africa.





Our last visit before trotting our happy feet home was with the African penguins.

The little guy on shore is Larry the lifeguard - he even had the armband to prove it










A hike past the posies and the gift shops and we are on our way home.










This is just a small sampling of the adventures awaiting you at the Lowry Park Zoo. We had a fantastic day!
