Zany Zigzaggy Zoo Day



Jordan and I spent an eventful morning at the Hogle Zoo today along with Justin and AJ. Our timing was perfect as we were able to see some once-in-a-lifetime moments at the zoo. 

There were the typical ferocious felines

Jordan was brave enough to get close to this exotic baby Tigress.  

However, nobody dared get too close to this lioness after she showed her sharp teeth!


We saw primates of all sizes! That male gorilla looks pretty tough,
not even Alpha Jordan wanted to challenge him.


One of the most amazing parts of the day was the inter-species interactions. Normally they are all seperated by fences, but today it was almost as if the millenium had come. Look here how the Lion is playing with the lamb.


And here how the Lion and the Tiger rule the streets in perfect harmony.



As peaceful as they play together, us Humans need to make sure to keep these wild animals at an arms length.



Unless, of course, you are highly trained in handling these cute but dangerous creatures such as Justin here.



The rest of us untrained observers had to wait until the darling cuddly animals at the petting zoo to get a hands on experience.

A big thanks to AJ & Justin for inviting us!
