To The Zoo

It was 102 this afternoon, so in our parental wisdom we decided to take Cub to the Austin Zoo. 

The Austin Zoo is actually an animal sanctuary - they're all rescues.  It's not a flashy/touristy kind of zoo, but I was pretty impressed with the variety of animals - lions, tigers, bears, pigs, primates, birds and a cute little petting zoo area with sheep, goats, chickens and deer. 

Here are a few pictures.

Obviously excited about the pig. 

Not hitting the snake glass. Promise.

Feeding the deer. 

Picture with black bear.  There really was a bear, but he didn't want to pose.

Do Not Touch or Feed the Cash Cub.

Some kind of primate (not pictured), but Cub thinks it looks like a cat.

 

Very energetic lion.

 

Walking out, holding hands with Daddy.

 

We plan to go again soon - when it gets cooler.
