Bronx Zoo

Last week we had a treat from Australia- Alison and Kere in town! For something different, and because Alison is such an animal lover, we made our way up to the Bronx Zoo. I have to say this is one of NYC biggest kept secrets, and I was taken aback at the size of the grounds and the proximity to animals - it was truly amazing.

Alison in the monkey cage. Fact: monkeys have tails and apes do not.

On the Wild Asia Monorail - more Asia and less Wild.

Cutest sea lions I have ever seen.

Sprawling grounds.

Baby sea lion - adorable!!

At the front of the old entrance.

Let's get our America on with a Big Old Drink - sugar high coming!

And now some big old giraffe's

Inside the Butterfly Conservatory.

Buffalo? Can't remember, but they were exotic and big :)

A very rare species!
