Texas Zoo
Texas Seestor, The Busy One, and I went to the zoo on Tuesday. It was a lot of fun! The zoo has a really nice set up for feeding the hooved animals. There are lots of sheep. And sheep are really gentle to feed. They can be a little piggy, but in general, weren’t pushing each other out of the way to eat. The deer were a little more pushy and I ended up spilling a lot of the food. Here I am feeding the deer.
And then there were a lot of big cats.
And a lot of interest by my niece in the big cats.
Some of the big cats had just been fed, and others were getting close to their feeding time, we think.
This one seemed ready to eat.
The peacocks and peahens were just loose and running around.
All in all, we had a really good time. And my niece seemed to enjoy it too.
Jenski says:
Zoos are great! I like the mid-lick tiger picture. I agree with your niece that big cats are great to watch. Glad they weren’t loose like the peafowl though.
Squirl says:
You got some great pictures. The big cats are really impressive. I always have mixed feelings about zoos. The animals there may have been bread in captivity so probably don’t know anything else. And their food is provided and there are no predators. But their spirits seem so confined. Doesn’t stop me from visiting zoos though.
Ern says:
Seems like you’re having a great break.
Texas Seestor says:
I understand what you are saying about zoos, Squirl. The ‘zoo’ we went to is called a zoo and animal sanctuary. They take in rescued animals, unwanted animals from private owners, and older animals from big zoos.
As far as zoos go, it is one of only ones I have been to where you are so close to the animals which makes it fun.

I always like the big cats best.
