Henry Doorly Zoo

Something I've been wanting to do for several years now is visit the zoo. I live just an hour from the top ranked zoo in the world and I haven't been in almost 10 years! On Tuesday, I took a friend out for lunch and pedicures. Afterwards, we were trying to decide what to do next when she mentioned that she had a family pass to the zoo...SCORE! I wish I had my real camera with me, but these cell phone pics will have to do. Enjoy this photo-heavy post :)
 Beautiful flowers in the Rainforest

 
 Several cool displays of jellyfish in the Aquarium

 
Sorry buddy...no food for you!

 
The peacocks are so pretty! Until this one dive-bombed me! Just look as his sinister face!

 
Seriously the cutest thing we saw all day!!! In the Orangutan Forest

 
This guy was deep in thought

 
And these two were cuddling away :)

 
Almost all of the cats were sleeping, but this guy sure was cute :)

 
A cool view at the Desert Dome!

We got there kind of late, so some of the buildings were closing. I hope to go back and see the Butterfly Pavilion and of course stop at the Petting Zoo :)

  1. Looks like a wonderful afternoon (except for the peacock!) it always amazes me about larger birds like that. My brother was attacked by a swan who thought he was just a tad too close. Loved 'the thinker' and that sweet baby

  3. I love all animals, but orang-utans have a special place in my heart. I volunteered at a sanctuary back when I lived in Indonesia. They are such intelligent creatures! Wonderful pics and I'm glad you had a nice day out with your friend :)

  4. What a fun day (minus the bird attack, ha)! He definitely has a sinister glint in his eye.

    The last time I was at a zoo, it was a small one somewhere in Wisconsin and the facilities were pretty dismal. I'm glad to see one that's highly rated with happy animals!

  5. How fun to see all the animals. The baby monkey is the cutest! Peacock amaze me with their color and the markings on their feathers. So stunning.

  8. How awesome that you got to visit the zoo in Omaha! I've only been once, and it was amazing. The baby orangutan is too cute, and of course I love the lion on his back.

  10. Great photos, Edi! I think the last time we were at the Henry Doorly Zoo was about 10 (or more) years ago, too. We're overdue for a visit. It's a wonderful place!

  11. Awww that orangutan baby is so cute!!! I love zoo trips, I don't know how many times we have visited the zoo here in Singapore, but it is always fun, in fact we visited a few days back and saw cute "Koalas" for the first time, they are on loan from Australia, and also saw 3 Meerkat babies, they were adorable:)
