The zoo had some new exhibits open this year that included polar and grizzly bears as well as seals. The boys really want to see the bears (Not as much as the gorillas but it distracted them from thinking about the gorillas for a bit ;)
It was amazing how active all the animals were. The boys loved watching these two grizzly bears. they were playing/fighting with one another right in front of the glass it was fun for all for all of us to watch.
After the bears we were all starting to get a little hungry so Eric took the boys to see the tigers while I went back to the car to get our picnic lunch. Again he was so close to the glass the boys were able to get a really good look at him.
I think the lions are always a big attraction. It is a big deal to Thomas that they have a "boy lion" so we were happy to see that the boy lion was out and about. As we were making our way up to see the lions they started doing some kind of roar call ( I am not a lion expert by any means of the imagination so that is the closest thing I could come up with what it was) But for a few minutes they were roaring back in forth to one another. It was great to see and hear and I am not sure really what the boys thought it being so loud. Because the camels were across the path, which we were going to see next they completely disappeared as soon as the lions started roaring, probably good thinking for the camels ;) Therefore we never did see them.
