Last two weekends ago we spent a couple of days in Taipei. To see our first day adventures see last weeks blog post titled "Taipei Trip Day One". For our second day we decided to head to the Taipei zoo. We have heard great things about the zoo so we decided to see it for ourselves. Many of the animals at the zoo were filmed for the movie "Life of Pi". The zoo is has many unique animals that I haven't seen before. They have Giant Pandas, Red Pandas, Kolas, and my favorite Orangutans.
After the panda house we start walking around the zoo. The hippo was singing for us!
The Orangutans are my favorite! She looked so sweet trying to stay in the shade for her morning nap.
I believe this little cutie is a Gibbon. They were very noisy!
These giant black and white creatures are not Pandas! They are Malayan Tapirs.
Is he real! He looks like a puppet to me. His way to big hands and feet look unreal.
The Asian Elephants.
Of course Justin and Noah found a critter that wasn't in a cage!
Do you know what the two types of camels shown here are called? I didn't but Justin made sure Noah and I learned. The one above, with two humps, is a Bactrian Camel. The camels below, with one hump, are called Dromedary Camels. I just hope I can remember that in case I ever make an appearance on the game show Million Dollar Money Drop and I get asked that question.
It's a unicorn! Oh wait its just a Beisa oryx with one horn.
These cute little guys were some of Justin's favorite critters. He would like to have one as a pet but they live for 150 years or so!
Ring-tail lemurs! I like to move it, move it!
This sleepy little guy is the Red Panda.
African Elephant
At the end of the day we take the train back to the city.
Dinner time!
This is Noah's souvenir from the zoo. It is a Bismuth stone.
