Zoo excursions are always enjoyable times.

CAMERA CRITTERS
A tiny town of about 80,000 in population, northeast of Corpus Christi by nearly 100 miles, Victoria, Texas is home of a small zoo in their Riverside Park. Tho it's nothing like a large, well kept zoo such as Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville Texas, it's still a good way to spend an hour or two walking the trails of exhibits. From tigers to an aviary section, from prairie dwellers to the exotic...the Texas Zoo is one to see if in the area. I titled this post today "Through the Looking Glass" because the zoo has adopted [by two of the town's residents' donation of caring for the cubs] a pair of lion cubs. They were enclosed in an area that had glass outer walls...and one was laying up against the warm glass on a cool morning...getting the sun's rays]

WEEKEND FUNNIES
I love zoos but our nearest one is about three hours away. All of the animals are so much fun to watch, I really like the lion cub at the window glass.
ReplyDeleteWe love going to the zoo, but didn't make it this year. Maybe we can go sometime this winter on a nice Saturday.
ReplyDeleteI have a good friend in Victoria.
love seeing pictures of wildlife. funny sign. rose
ReplyDeleteI love visiting the zoo!! I grew up in San Diego and it is still my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI like to go to the zoo with my husband and our grandkids. We have a nice one here in Wichita, Kansas.
ReplyDeleteThere is a zoo like yours in the mountains of PA. Our girls got to hold mountain lion cubs.
ReplyDeleteThat sign is fantastic.
Wonderful pictures and a lovely post ... I love 'we advise outdoorsmen to wear little noisy bells on clothing' ... LOL!!!!
ReplyDeletethank you for stopping by mine, so glad you did as it led me to visit here :o)
The zoo pictures are so nice !
ReplyDeleteI am still laughing about this sign ! I just imagine hiking around with bells on my clothes and a magnifier to analyse the poop of black and grizzly bears ! hahaha !
I know that some people don't like zoos, but I'm not one of them!

ReplyDeleteYou have some great zoo shots there! It's always nice to be warned about bear activity! :D We have to always be on the look out for gators!

ReplyDeleteLove the zoo pictures, Anni, especially the young lion.
ReplyDeleteI've seen the sign from Fort Steele before (I'm from B.C.) but that last line always makes me laugh. Thanks, I needed a laugh after reading Mama Zen's post. Heartbreaking.

An interesting endangered animals to watch, sometimes if I want to go to the zoo what interest me are the animal that I don't see often like this one you had in the photos. The crocodile looks scary just looking on skin scares me.lol
ReplyDeleteHope you a had lovely weekend Ms. Anni.
Hi there!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my place too!
Great zoo that is. Very nice photos...absolutely love that tiger!

Oh the gator shot is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a nice zoo. I love going to the zoo!
ReplyDeleteWe visit a couple different small zoo's and it really is fascinating to just sit and watch them.
ReplyDeleteAlthough it does kind of makes me sad to see animals caged up instead of running wild...still I am one to take my little's to see them. :) It tends to feel like I live in the zoo...in fact I have a sign that hangs in my kitchen that says, "welcome to the zoo"...the little's find this humorous. :)
Thanks for stopping by my place today! Lori
Love your new header!
