A Day at the Zoo

We went to the zoo yesterday (along with the rest of Taipei)! It's a pretty nice zoo, although not really set up for large crowds of people.



I read about a big scandal back in 2009 where China gave Taipei some "pandas" that ended up being brown bears painted black and white to look like pandas. Seriously. You can read the story here.


So, I guess you could say we had pretty low expectations...


But it ended up being pretty cool. There were a lot of animals, especially lots of monkeys. 

Some looked really sad...


And some were relaxing, just living the life.



I was a little disappointed the gorilla wasn't in his cage, but the other animals made up for it.






Check out more pictures here.

  1. Sarah, these are great pictures! Great close-ups, especially of the giraffe and rhino in your other pictures. Love the turtle with its toe in the water, and the rabbit...!!! Won't find anything like these animals at Roger Williams Park! Keep up the blog, I'm lovin' it and spend my lunch break checking it out. Miss you!
