After we walked around through the Asian exhibit, Isabel was getting hungry so we walked really quickly through a small animal exhibit with…
Blind Cave fish (these fish have no eyes – none, so weird looking)
a Barn owl and
a 16 ft. Burmese python!
Then we stopped along the path and had a picnic lunch. After lunch we headed over to Rocky Shores and saw…
Beluga whales (last time we came they only had 1; now the zoo has 2 beluga whales)
Pacific walrus

Then we headed to the Wild Wonders Outdoor Theater to watch an afternoon show. We saw…
Eurasian eagle owl (which weighed 4 lbs. and had a wingspan of 5 ft. – that’s just about my height!)
Tawny Frogmouth.
Laughing kookaburra bird.
Bald eagle. We think this is an injured bird because of the way it held it’s wing.
Domestic rats
Beaver
North American porcupine
Armadillo
King Vulture
Indian runner ducks
Abyssinian ground hornbill bird
Green-winged macaws
Seriema bird
After the show it was time to head back home. We did stop by the Carousel and let Isabel have a go-around on Patriot. This time she rode on one that actually went up and down. At first, I thought oh no, as her eyes got big as saucers and she gripped the pole and looked like she was about to cry…but she really enjoyed it…
