These photos were hard to shoot given the low light and long exposure time. A few of the birds moved too. Unfortunately my camera battery ran out of juice, so I never made it to the big cats. Oh well, maybe I'll photograph the cats the next time I venture to the Memphis Zoo.

Wandering around the Aquarium
Aquarium
The Aquarium is a small portion of the zoo with its many tanks of sea life. Still, I enjoyed seeing the various species and which ones were grouped together. Some fish love to play in the sea anemones.
Tortoises
The two tortoises had their heads pressed to the dirt when I visited them. I had hoped to at least take a photo of their faces. They didn’t move at all.
Dragon's Lair
Asian Garden
In exiting the China section of the zoo I had to pass the entrance again. As I proceeded, I viewed an Asian Garden on the left. It was a small area with a little pond and little red bridge. Since I was trying to see the penguins before closing time, I didn’t linger long.

Tea Room, Endangered Species Carousel and A Taste of China
Upon exiting the area there is the Tea Room, the Endangered Species Carousel and a fast food building called A Taste of China. There’s a covered seating area outside the Tea Room. A handful of kids rode the carousel.
