A Rainy Day At The Zoo

We were treated to a VIP visit at the Philadelphia Zoo. The VIP visit included a behind the scenes tour with the big kitties.

The nice kitty lady introduced us to some of the cats and told us all sorts of interesting facts about them!

Jutai the jaguar
Fun Fact: Jaguars have powerful jaws that can easily crush your skull!

Maya the snow leopard
Fun Fact: The snow leopard has the longest tail in proportion to the length of its body out of all kitties.

Dakota the puma/mountain lion
Fun Fact: I don't remember the fun fact that the kitty lady told us... :-|

After visiting the kitties we walked around to meet some of the other animals at the zoo.

Primates

Some time after seeing the monkeys my camera battery died and it started to rain. We sought refuge from the rains in the Avian Center and met some of the birds there.

All in all it was a pretty awesome day!
