Calgary Zoo

I have visited Calgary several times but this was my first ever visit to the Calgary Zoo. I tell you, it really puts Winnipeg's Zoo to shame...but you pay for it!! We paid more for our one day admission than we have paid for a year long family pass here! Yikes!!

At any rate, it was a blast. And thanks to the borrowed telephoto lens I had, I took a few cool pictures while we were there.

Bald eagle..so magestic looking




Gorillas. SO cool.





We LOVE the big cats!!




This tiger had been sleeping on our first pass by but was up and prowling around when we walked by on our way out. I snapped this shot as it came closer and then it turned and sprayed us! Both Aunty B and I came within inches of getting doused with tiger spray! I'm telling you, you have never seen to women scream louder or jump back faster :) Cat spray is disgusting...I can only imagine how tiger spray smells. Ewwww...




Yes, this is the littlest brother pushing the biggest brother in the wagon. Sad, I know LOL

I love zebras!! (We do have these at the Winnipeg Zoo though)

Here is the girlie in her belly-dancing elephant pose

Giraffes...wow.

Camels up close

Here are the three littles and Aunty B.

A fun day was by all and everyone was sad to begin our journey home. The kids are already trying to plan a return visit. Maybe Aunty B will be hosting some house guests next year LOL
