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

The komodo dragons had an area all to themselves including a fancy entrance and beautiful garden. Neither of them moved I as strolled through their space. They were behind a clear wall – plexiglass I think.











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.









Near the Exit

As I exited this part of the zoo, I took these shots.
