Jason and I went to the Milwaukee County Zoo after leaving Sewerfest yesterday and had a blast! Here are some of the pics I got!

This female gorilla didn't seem too impressed by us!

All in all it was a very nice zoo. Saw lots of other great animals but didn't get pics on my camera! Jason got a bunch of awesome shots but is having technical difficulties getting them uploaded. We'll get em posted sometime, though!

:rofl:kinda looks like the gorilla in the first pic is giving you a sly obscene gesture lol

Haha! Kind of! Never noticed!

very awesome pictures!

I wish my shots came out half as nice as all yours do! HA!!!

Thanks! But Jason's pictures put mine to shame! Might not be able to post those till this weekend, though! :(

I'll get them up. This OLD laptop is SLOW, just cropping and resizing the batch, and then to PB they go.

A really miffed looking female gorilla...

Overall I was really impressed with the zoo, all the animals looked VERY well cared for and happy, none of the usual depressed pacing animals. Most all of the exhibits had some sort of stimulation for the animals inside. And I also like that there were zoo staff that were there to answer questions about animals, and tell a bit about some exhibits.

The only thing I found odd was the use of multi species enclosures for many of the reptiles. But all looked healthy..

Milwaukee County Zoo is a real nice Zoo.. Altho I havent been to many to compare it to. The wife and I get yearly passes every year and end up taking the kids what seems like every 2 to 3 months. I always run for the reptiles and fish first thing... I have some grat pics myself that I will have to post in the near future... My favs have to be the King cobra and the Green Anaconda. Altho they have many Vipers and Rattlers, the Green Tree Pythons are nice too, and a few of the larger constrictors wouldnt hurt.
