Last week, the boys had 1-1/2 days of vacation for Teacher meetings. Mark took the boys to a very fun Wild Animal Park in Pudong (the part of Shanghai where we live). Here are a few pictures of the many wonderful animals that they saw:
So sad, the Gorilla was holding his hand out begging for people to give him food even though the signs said not to feed him.
A few of the many beautiful birds in the Bird House...
This is a Capucin Monkey, like the ones in the "Night at the Museum" movies...
The boys LOVE elephants!
The panda had just finished a snack and was ready for an afternoon nap...
Derek and the giraffes...
There was a lady at the entrance selling binoculars. Before Mark had a chance to say NO, the boys had already opened them up and started viewing...
The boys took time to pose with the "tigers"... For a small animal park, they had many impressive animals. They had a liger --- it was a lion/tiger with the coloring of a lion but with stripes like a tiger. It was beautiful!
