Columbus Zoo...

Back in September we spent the day at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and it was pretty darn fabulous.  Let me tell you a little bit about the Columbus Zoo - it stretches for 90 acres, the Zoo is home to over 700 wildlife species including big cats, elephants, gorillas, manatees, koalas and more! It's even broken down to Regions - while on our Zoo adventure we went to - Asia Quest, North America, African Forest, Australia, The islands of Southeast Asia, and The Shores (aka:the Aquarium).  I took a ton of pictures - but I will show you some of our favorites...

It was sleepy day at the Zoo for the animals - but we still had a really good time seeing them...

My favorite - the Koala Bears - they were so cute - Tyson let me set there and watched them for over 20 minutes and all they did was sleep. He said he would have sat there all day if I had wanted too. Isn't he great!! *Did you know fact: Koala's sleep at least 22 hours a day! What a life!

This was in Asia Quest - posing with the I guess Asian kitties. 

(*please note the OSU shirts - it was game day! Read the last post if your confused.)

Awe, the Tigers were just snoozing away along with...

the Bears...and...

the Rino too.

But sleeping animals didn't get us down. It was a really warm day - and it was OSU game day, so lots of people were either tailgating or watching the game, so the Zoo wasn't even that busy - and on top of it we saw some amazing animals - We got to see a Red Panda which neither of us had seen before and Koala's was a first for us as well. In the Region of Australia you got to go into a fenced in area with Kangaroos, and they we just hanging out, they were like only 3 feet away from us - it was crazy. You couldn't touch them - but we've never been that close to Kangaroo's before.  The Aquarium was really fun too - they have Manatees and they were amazing. So our day at the Zoo was really fun - I am sure we will go back again and again.
