Who loves the Zoo??? I DO!!!

We took a weekend trip to Guangzhou to visit the zoo and try and do some shopping. The shopping was a fail with shops being closed before we got there and not being able to find anything we wanted- but the zoo on the other hand was AMAZING!
Guangzhou Safari Land is what it is actually called, we went there because "Zoos" in China actually don't treat the animals very well. This was animal kingdom heaven with acres of land for each exhibit. This made alot of walking but each habitat was well stocked with the animals to fill it.

I do have a sad story to go with this adventure: my camera malfunctioned. It said that it was low battery but it doesn't explain the fact that it deleted the first half of my pictures at the zoo. So the first part of my day is gone.
We saw lemurs, and cute little monkeys, and I even held a baby tiger. I have nothing to show for it though, but the memories.
The other half of the day was just as grand:


We went and saw the expansive Tiger habitat and were able to see the beautiful white tigers.


These two tigers are solely responsible for half of the world's white tiger population.


These last pictures are all in the same exhibit- this one is on the prowl.


Then the little tigers- this is like the one I got to hold. This little guy is napping, I love the spots on their ears.


I saw the babies too!


And I fed one!!!!! I am so glad I decided to hold the white tiger too!!


His paw is huge!


I want one, he is so cute! He loves me!


Giraffes!


And a fed an elephant!


He is more prickly than I thought he would be.


Here he is bowing in thanks- what a cutie!


Then we rode an elephant! This is me and Debbie.


And of course I couldn't come to China and not see a panda!


I didn't realize all my kids would be here too!!
