My Zoo Birthday

On my birthday we went for a trip to Zoo Atlanta. We had so much fun. The zoo has many baby animals that were born within the last year, so I thought this was our chance to see the little ones in action. Here are some of the animals we saw that day.

Here is the momma kangaroo - you can tell cos of her pouch. She had a baby joey six months ago.

You can see the baby's little back paw peeking out of the pouch in this photo. The zoo keepers told us the baby will come out within the next month or so.

Next were the pandas. There was a newborn panda, but we did not get to see it. I think it was hiding in another part of their home.

This is my best picture of the two tiger cubs, too. Notice the white spots on the back of their ears? Those are to make other animals think those are eyes.

I love the otters! They were very playful when we got to see them.
