I saw them 2 years ago but it will be fun to see them again. It is a huge place to cover but if you want to see the pandas, they are the closest to the gate. You will see the polar bears and the arctic area first. The next closest area are the apes and tigers and the South American animals. I did venture further to the African area and the. I made the dreaded trek to the North American animals to see the wolves...there were none! I was done for physically and the following week was horrible. You are so lucky to have been with these 2 cats. I'm so glad you shared some pics here. I am looking forward to going as I have not been there since I was a teen but we will not drive through since the monkeys can trash a car...I have seen itBirgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-68324543294655081152017-07-28T20:49:44.328-04:002017-07-28T20:49:44.328-04:00You think so??

Oregon has Wildlife Safari and we used to visit it all the time. I had my photo taken with a full grown cheetah, his head in my lap. After the picture, I heard this low growl. The park employee leaned in close and chuckled - "He's snoring!"L.

I went by bus from my Georgetown Hotel, walked the entire length of the zoo, and then realized that I had to walk all the way back to get to the closest bus stop. Ugh. They have two main roads torn up by me too. I have to time any trips to avoid traffic.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15045554938847356871noreply@blogger.com
