Headed back to the zoo today and was pleased to find that spring break finally seems to be over. Last week when I was here it was crowded like it usually is on weekends. Found out some schools were still out for spring break. Today I was able to circle through the panda exhibit a number of times, the line was so short.
Zhen is starting to ingest bamboo now, not just play with it.
Su Lin became interested in one of her enrichment items. It probably had a scent that she liked. She hung upside down and tried to pull it up to her.
This was the first time I have had the right timing to see the polar bears underwater. They are incredibly beautiful to watch. Kids seemed to really enjoy it too. Heard several say it was their favorite exibit. Read on the zoo web site that they are hoping to have some baby polar bears in the future.
Have never seen an egret sitting like this.
I stayed at Sweetwater County Park again during my stay in San Diego. It is around 10 miles from the San Diego Zoo (takes 30 minutes to drive there). About half of the park’s sites are always filled, either with permanent sites for people who volunteer 20 hours a week or “recurrent” visitors. You can stay here three weeks, then have to leave for one week before you can return. On weekends it often fills up.
Some perfectly groomed poodles in the zoo parking lot.
