Trip Report - Denver, CO (Day 4): Denver Zoo

Had a few hours to burn before departing Denver. So we decided to check out the Denver Zoo since it looked to busy when we drove by yesterday.




They had a peacock freely roaming around.

Mongoose.




Kirk's Dik-Dik. It reminded me of the Audrey Hepburn's pet deer Pippin.



Snow Leopard.







Tropical Discovery exhibit






























Snapping Turtle.


Komodo Dragon


Baby Komodo Dragons






What! Alcohol, while we enjoy the exhibits... Don't mind if I do.



Female Peacock

Lunch break. Had some teriyaki chicken & Chow Mein



Somali Wild Ass

I wasn't kidding.



This bad ass pigeon exhibit, must be very dangerous.




OMG! Otters, I want one.




Gibons




Hip hip hop anonymous



I think this was a Red-tailed Falcon.




Capybara





Parade.






Lorikeet Adventure. For $2 you get a cup of nectar to feed them.


This dude tried to steal the cup. He/she wouldn't let go.





















Spent about a good 3-4 hours at the Denver Zoo looking at animals and we didn't go through all the exhibits. Let alone see any shows or demos.

Headed off to the airport to head home.
That ends this trip. It was an interesting trip. I didn't get to explore Denver's nightlife since I got sick the first night, which was a bummer, but otherwise it was good trip and I can check Colorado off my list.

Where to next? Vancouver, BC.
