October 18 - Denver Zoo (Part 1)
Oct. 20th, 2021 10:30 pmSplitting zoo pics into two posts. :) No themes to the posts, just mostly chronological order for the pathway we took.
The zoo is very festive at the moment, with pumpkins everywhere. I like how many colors they have, arranged in different patterns (This one says "Boo"). There are also lots of jack-o-lantern displays, and some faces in trees and such. They do a couple "Boo at the Zoo" events, though I've never gone to them.
A lorikeet, up in some lovely fall foliage, also looking quite festive.
We did get to walk through the lorikeet exhibit, which we often miss the timing for! (Though they were done feeding for that timeslot, so the birds were mostly napping, haha.)
There was minor internet wank a couple years ago when the Denver Zoo tweeted about a same-sex bonded pair of lorikeets they have, haha.
( 8 more pictures below the cut, all mammals and birds this time: )
The highlight of the visit was definitely how active a lot of the animals we got to see were. There were still ones napping, of course, or who'd opted to be in their "out-of-view" areas (as most animals have a choice to go somewhere not on exhibit.) But the weather was just about perfect for walking through AND for all the animals.
