adorably cute animals

Today, Will, Ben, Jake, and I went to the Metro Richmond Zoo. It's a really small zoo but it has lots of kinds of animals. The good thing about it being small is that you can get really close to all the animals! They give you a cup of food at the entrance and you can feed any animals except the birds. You can pet almost everything. And tons of animals had babies! Here are the best of the pictures that I took today. There are tons of more pictures that I will put up later, but these are the very best!

This ring-tailed lemur was so adorable. He was just a baby and he was so small he could crawl through the fence of his cage. He kept crawling through and coming up to the sidewalk to see us! Then he'd crawl back in his little fence and come back out whenever he wanted. He was really nice!




My favorite thing was the zebra butts. I think zebras' stripes are so beautiful but their butts really show the stripes' beauty the most.





This moon bear was trying to wash off his tongue or something. He kept pulling on his tongue with his paws, tugging harder and harder. I thought he was going to pull his whole tongue off.



We think this little guy is a gazelle. He was so nice too. He was really curious and wanted us to pet him.






And this cute guy is a farrow deer. They live in Asia. They were so gentle - Ben and Jake let them eat right out of their hands. They petted their little faces.

The Richmond Zoo was really cool...I just wish the animals had bigger habitats - but I always think that, no matter which zoo I go to and how much space the animals have. I'll show more pictures later this weekend!
