So, on our last visit to the zoo we discovered an exhibit we had not seen before. It is called the Jungle and well, it looks like a jungle, except that you are inside. I have to say I was quite impressed with this. For one, the growth is beautiful. But secondly there are animals out, meaning not in cages. There are some in cages, a sloth, some crazy looking squirrels, monkeys oh and a komodo dragon, a big one. But there are other animals just out.
This was a crazy looking bird. The pictures don't do it justice. But it was just walking down the path.
Looking up there were huge bats hanging in the trees. I am assuming they were not dangerous since they here just hanging out up in the trees. These were not small. They were probably about a foot long.
Then there were these beautiful birds just sitting on a limb. You can't tell but this guy was eyeing me as much as I was eyeing him.
There is also a "stream" with sting rays, a "pond" with some of the biggest fish I have ever seen. You could actually go under the pond and see them swimming all around you. This was the kid's favorite part. And lastly a water fall that you can walk behind. We didn't take pictures of anything else that day. Nothing else compared to the Jungle. Have I mentioned we love our zoo?

Isn't the Jungle just the best? Of course, I'm pretty partial to the whole zoo. Believe it or not, we just went a couple of weeks ago with my Mom while she was staying with us; it was the first time I've been in over a year. Wowzers. Pathetic. Maybe we'll get a membership from SOMEONE in our family this year (I've been stumping for a family zoo membership for a Christmas present for years) and I can properly educate my kids about animals and wild life. My personal favorite at the Sedgwick County Zoo is the river otter exhibit. I LOVE to watch them swim and play.
