el Jardin Zoologico
the zoo is in the Palermo district
it opened in 1888
the staff is very welcoming...
...we think
water runs all through the park
and birds everywhere also
the parrot's stylish digs
this one was especially talkative
catching up on the latest news
Victorian-era follies everywhere
everyone has to wait in line at the office
hmmmm.....
giraffes look in the second story windows
here's the Selva Subtropical
an enclosed forest
home to some wet creatures...
...and some dry ones...
!
...and some very dry ones
outside the forest, there are some fearsome creatures...
...or not
both kids and animals enjoyed the feeding
the llama pen and house
interesting decor
the Andean condor enclosure
patitos!
the cats are introduced by a text from Jorge Luis Borges
but mostly they napped
even the littlest one...
...on the roof of the snack shop
introducing the raptors
here comes trouble...
in the reptile house
the endangered Yacare, part of a breeding program
first date?
time to take a rest
hasta luego!
