The Minnesota Zoo is located in Apple Valley, just south of
Minneapolis. FOr you shoppers, it is ten miles south of the
Mall of America. The zoo is very open and the displays are very
nice. They have extensive tropical and marine areas indoors as well
as the outside habitats.
"The American Symbol" - Almost all Bald Eagles you find in zoos
have been injured to the point that they could not survive in the
wild. Most of these injuries are caused by people. I can't understand
why someone would want to hurt one of these majestic birds.
"Baby Camel" -
Standing with its mother, this baby camel looks very cute and
cuddly.
"Lunch" - Out of all
of the animals we saw that day, one of the cutest was this squirrel,
sitting on a feeder next to the monorail entrance. He never paid any
notice to us or the other people entering the building. I was about
ten feet away when the picture was taken.
