A Zoo That's Out of this World Country

While we were up north last weekend, we took advantage of being so close to Canada and headed up to Assiniboine Park Zoo in Winnipeg...

 

The first thing we saw was butterflies!  They weren't doing much as it was pretty cold {for butterflies}.

 

Next up were the camels

I Man enjoyed them,

but L preferred this camel (you know, or the bugs, the swinging chain link fence etc.).

 

We saw the 'usual' zoo animals

 

as well as a few 'unusual ones' including sea eagles, red pandas, tree kangaroos, capybaras and some others whose names I can't remember.  The bottom left hand picture is of some goat like animals that were chasing and fighting for us!

 

Of course, there were plenty of these around {do they just call these geese in Canada??}

 

and a peacock who showed us his beautiful tail feathers!

 

It was

 

a fun day

 

at the zoo!

 

We ate lunch on our way out of town the country here because when in Rome...
