| I find Meerkats very interesting to watch. They are always looking 'upwards' as that is where they are looking for predators |
We did a day trip to San Diego zoo, which was about an hour and a half bus trip from Anaheim. The Zoo was extremely educational and we could have spent a few days here as it was so big. The zoo keepers were very friendly and very informative. We learnt lots about different animals including animal husbandry. We did the tram tour first around the park, which was not only extremely educational, but also introduced us to the different park areas. The park is very hilly, however, with the tram and cable cars, there are other options to get around the park. There is also plenty of seating and viewing areas to see the animals.

I love Komodo dragons. I think they are totally fascinating and a 'living dinosaur'. The adults lose their colour and they can't really be kept together as a colony as they tend to fight each other.

| These Meerkats looked so cosy! |

A.J was into Macaws when we went to the zoo. This is one of the rarer Hyacinth Macaws

| Ah, Flamingoes, they are so beautiful. They sound like chickens though in large groups. |

Overall, we loved our trip to San Diego zoo. Its truly one of the best zoo's in the world and was very educational.
