San Diego Zoo

Spent some time today at the San Diego Zoo. This zoo has a tremendous reputation which is well deserved. The hippos were spending much of their time underwater, and appeared to be interested in the people watching them. They kept coming right up to the glass (or plexiglass) and seemed to be observing the observers.







The orangutan was apparently bored with the whole thing, but I found the burlap hat amusing.













Pandas were out doing what they appear to spend all of their non-sleeping time doing -- eating. Sorry, Fran, I could not find the Red Pandas.










The dominant gorilla appeared pensive, or perhaps he was just wondering when dinner would arrive.







The tigers were not on display. Apparently their fence was only 1 foot higher than the fence enclosing the tiger display in San Francisco.
