The Como Park Zoo

On a very warm day in St. Paul, we headed to the Como Park Zoo. I was glad that it is a small zoo so we were able to stroll through and take our time.

The animals seemed lethargic ~ perhaps the weather affects them more than I thought.  Or maybe they simply weren’t happy.

They didn’t seem to move very much ~ even the sea lion just lay there.

The gorilla seemed pensive ~ what do gorillas think about, I wonder?

I was able to get pretty close to the zebra. It is quite a fascinating animal with all the stripes and it’s large muscles.  Did you know that the strip pattern on every zebra is unique? Check it out sometime.

The giraffe was the most active out of all the animals.

Did you know that a male lion’s roar can be heard up to 5 miles away?

This tiger just lay on its back ~ too hot to move?

Most of the other animals were “hiding.”

The zoo has a few places to pick up some goodies and drinks.

Hopefully the next time we go the animals will be a little more active (chipper).
