We went to the Oregon Zoo today. Jen took us behind the scenes!

Joel and I met Oshi. He is a Toucan who used to be a pet, but his owner realized that he needed a better environment and the zoo took him in. We got to throw him blueberries.





Yup, that's his tongue!


Bebeto was feeling shy today, he didn't want to to have his photo taken or eat peanuts from us.


We did get to get up close to the Hydrosaurus.

This is the new little girl Hydrosaur. I can't remember her name right now....

 
Ferdinand let me take some close-ups!





To the insects! (These didn't come out as well as I wanted.)

My favorite snoozing lizard:

He woke up for a second.


We had a fun day!

Thanks Jen for letting us behind the scenes!

Jen got me in to see the Oregon Zoo Lights on a special night! It was so cool because there was practically no one there and I could actually take some photos! Be prepared there are lots!

First, as you know, I love insects, here are the ones I liked tonight.

my personal favorite insect





now everything else:








Jen likes the wombat





Jen also likes this little puffin





There were also some animal awake!

The bats were really active!




and I have never seen this guy awake.....


Here are some other reptiles and an ampibian:




Since the weather was so nice, not raining and no wind, I tried a bit of freelensing too!






It was a fun night!
Hope you have a great night too!


Oh and if any one has any idea what this is and what mythology it might come from I would love to know.....
