Whooping Cranes

As I walked back the entrance of the Audubon Zoo, I realized I hadn’t seen the Whooping Cranes on my last visit. So, I stopped briefly to take photos. Four ducks shared the same habitat with the whooping cranes.

Leaving the World of Primates

An orangatangs proved to be a much more cooperative subjects. The one below just sat and looked at us as we looked back. And so I finished seeing the primates.

Path to the Left

Eventually the path took a turn to the left. See photos below of the landscaping along the way. Some of the habitats were huge and sprawling, while other habitats were much smaller. Many of the primates still managed not to look at camera.

Primates in Action

As I walked by each habitat, the various primates often looked away, so their faces were not visible. It was frustrating to take their photos. I was happiest when there were no cages to hinder my photo efforts.

Exiting Popp Gardens

Before leaving the Popp Gardens I took a shots of the backside of a building across from the gardens.

Popp Gardens

When I exited the Dinosaur Adventures I explored a space along Magazine Avenue. A fence separates that portion of the zoo from the street. There’s a fountain in the middle of this garden with sculptures to either side. There are benches to either side from the fountain. A plaque names the space.

Tyrranosaurus and Other Large Dinosaurs

The rest of the exhibit continued outside the building. Again there was a winding pathway. Several of the last dinosaurs towered over me. And of course there was a Tyrranosaurus.

Teeth!

Before I exited the building I was confronted with a dinosaur feeding another one. Yes, it was a bit grim. Another dinosaur sported a mouth full of teeth that reminded me of a crocodile.
