Good morning from the San Diego Zoo!

Alan really wanted to visit this zoo so we made a day of it! It is known for it’s cageless exhibits and over 3500 different types of animals!

We went straight to the koalas because I had read they were super active in the morning and we were not disappointed! They were moving all over, one even ran on the ground…they hop almost like rabbits!

Right across from the koalas were the giraffes! They were so close it was so cool!!!

The zoo was absolutely massive!

We saw 5 kinds of bears, giraffes, pygmy hippos, gorillas, monkeys, birds, camels, lions, tigers, leopards…just to name a few!

We had lunch by the gorillas and then covered the rest of the zoo!

Before we left we rode the double decker bus tour around the zoo then we rode the sky tram!

Alan’s favorite animal! The komodo dragon!

Above the zoo and we could see downtown San Diego!

After we finished the zoo, it officially ended our trip. We began our long drive home by heading East! We headed out of town and the sun was setting behind us! Off to Tucson!

It takes nothing away from a human to be kind to an animal!
