I'm kind of like a five year old in the fact that I love zoos. I just love that there are animals from all kinds of habitats from all over the world all in one location. Germany has so many zoos and animal parks, it's insane. The Berlin Zoo is one of the most visited not only in Europe, but also in the world. There are over 17,000 animals from 1,500 different species making it one of the most extensive zoos in the world.
Have a look:
this zoo has everything.
weird hippos (tapirs)
pygmy hippos
hairy, old, horny animals (some kind of goat?)
big horny animals
humpbacks
europe's version of a longhorn
this guy was like a statue.
i stood there for almost 5 minutes and he never moved!
another non-moving sheep/goat/thing. they must not be friendly creatures.
flamingos!
he was totally mean-mugging me as i took this picture.
owls! (they were totally awake during the day)
wolves!
yaks. i think.
penguins!
seals!
more penguins!
even more penguins!
i couldn't help it. they were so cute!
feeding time for the otters.
they were rolling around in their food.
gross and cute at the same time (it that's possible...)
zebras!
i'm convinced they were staging a revolt.
they were all walking around making tons of noise and flapping their wings.
nutria rats.
didn't need a sign for this one, i've seen so many of them on camping trips!
something that would be eaten by a lion in africa.
a male ostrich!
female ostriches. not nearly as pretty. sad day.
kanga-rat?
kangaroos!
the two in the back were totally fighting!
this zebra was angry. he would make mean noises
if other zebras got too close to him.
more rhinos!
all kinds of ducks!
jaguar. leopard. jaguar. leopard. you decide.
crazy squirrels!
feeding time!
my favorite!
i was so close. i really wanted to pet him,
but i was worried about getting kicked out. or losing a finger.
so cool.
i think we had a moment.
nap time. this totally reminded me of bella.
and this reminded me of bella too.
remember earlier, when you decided if that one cat was a jaguar or a leopard?
well this is the other one.
he was chewing, not growling.
if cubs are baby lions, what are teenager lions?
yummy.
all these cats were either sleeping or eating.
based on this, my dogs belong in a zoo.
angry black panther. no pun intended.
i have a video of him pacing around his cage. he was seriously ticked.
sleeping tiger hidden dragon?
they were opposites!
this is the angry panther from before.
i've never seen something so angry just because they were hungry!
hide and seek?
oldest panda in captivity!
look at these guys! so cute!
that's a big monkey.
and this one's so little!
excellent timing with this picture, i must say.
monkeys are so cute :)
grooming each other!
oh. my. gosh. this guy is scary.
seriously. would you mess with him? didn't think so.
chimps!
look at the baby monkey!!!!!
giraffes.
they had a pretty cool habitat.
elephants!
this one kept throwing her food everywhere!
he was my favorite.
Seriously. I spent hours at this zoo and I didn't leave until I double-checked to make sure I saw everything! It was awesome.
