Sunday, February 24. 2008Toronto ZooWe have annual passes for the Toronto Zoo and try to get there fairly regularly. We went last weekend and again today and between the two visits, got some of the best viewing of some of the animals that we've ever had.
The octopus in particular has always been inactive when we've visited before. Today, it was extremely active and so we stayed and watched it for quite a while. Unfortunately, the lighting is low there so my photos didn't really turn out. The best shot is included here. Another high-point was in the gorilla area in the African pavilion. They've added a new outside viewing window in the gorilla area and we had some spectacular viewing here. At one point, one of the male gorillas climbed up on the platform by the window and we were literally inches away from him. At this distance, you really begin to appreciate their size. They look large from a distance but it isn't until you get right up close that you really appreciate how huge they are. Some more pictures on my flickr account. Trackbacks
