Audobon Zoo Brought To You

Back in Oct. we went down to Mississippi for a few days to visit friends and family. While there we decided that we were going to take the girls to the zoo in New Orleans. It ended up being a beautiful day-the sun was shining and no rain-it had been raining when we had gotten up but was perfect at the zoo. We had a blast with the girls. They've been to the Boise zoo before but were to young to really enjoy it or remember it. No the case this time!
There are a ton of pictures so be prepared to sit here for a little while.

Just inside the zoo.
The highest point in New Orleans at 22 ft. above sea level-"Monkey Hill".




"monkeys" of a 'feather' flock together.



Have no idea what kind of bird they were but they weren't to concerned about us being there.


Vultures from South America enjoying their frozen/thawed rat dinner-yummy!


There were tons of different kinds of ducks and water birds all over the place.


Spider monkeys on the 'lookout'


Giant anteaters

Yes, its white, it is alive, has blue eyes but its not an albino.



Some bird that wasn't to concerned about much.


Flamingos



Pack-a-derms



Sun bear

I don't remember but they liked their water.


White tiger

Lioness


Rainbow Boa and yes they were petting it.


One of many macaws that were hanging out at various places around the zoo.


I think it was called a Golden monkey-good name for it if its not.


Can you believe that this is a pig?

Africa-the Wildebeests and zebra's


Hello!


I think its a Kudu.

There were turtles in every body of water and lots of them.


My favorite the giraffe.


Black bear


A masked little bandit taking a nap.


Logs with legs and scales and growing moss?
Needless to say, we had a lot of fun and we didn't even get to see the whole zoo. We wanted to go see the Aquarium so we had to go-those pictures will be coming soon.
