I took Jacob to the LA Zoo on February 21st since it was a school holiday. I just didn't expect that half of LA would have the same idea.
I let Jacob be in charge and decide where he wanted to go, so we headed off for the giraffes first. Of course they had to be the farthest exhibit from the entrance.
This black bear looks more like a rug than an animal.
Jacob said his favorite animal was the rhinoceros, even without the horn. We talked about why his horn was gone but he knew already from Bindi the Jungle Girl.
I don't even remember what animal this was but it looks interesting.
The new elephant exhibit was one of the reasons that we went. The elephants were shy or something because we didn't see them much. I kind of understand why PETA was upset with the captivity of elephants it does seem small for 4 grown elephants.
Jacob would not consent to pictures on this trip but he agreed to take mine.
I didn't even remember that the zoo had an aviary but we saw some great birds.
Who doesn't love a flamingo.
The zebras were my favorites and they were pretty active too. I hope you enjoyed seeing our little trip to the zoo.
Jacob was very cooperative with pictures today.
The turtles were a big hit.
Log of turtles.

It was a beautiful day.
Jacob enjoyed taking pictures with all the prehistoric animals.
Our movie of the day was Ice Age of course. For some reason I seem to sleep through the movies after our adventures:) 
Jacob consented to a picture, too bad I couldn't take a good one. 
We had good timing as the octopus was out and moving today.
Red and white sea anemone.
White sea anemone. It is more impressive in person, looked like marshmallows.
