Sleeping Lion at San Francisco Zoo
We visited the San Francisco zoo today for our second time this summer.
As you know from my recent post, this is my favorite zoo. I just love visiting the precious animals and feeling the ocean breeze blowing throughout the space.
I believe the animals seem extra content here due to the amazing location directly across the street from the Pacific Ocean.
We saw some really furry and very cute animals today and I snapped a few of their photos to share. One of the reasons I am so enamored with this zoo is how close up you can get to the animals, which makes me want to snap photos all day long.
We were treated to viewing several animals as they napped. They just looked so precious and huggable. I know, I know, the fluffy white polar bears are not animals we should run up to and hug, but still, they are just so darn cute. 🙂

Anteater
Anteaters are extraordinary to watch roaming around their habitat.
Anteaters move fast
Sleeping Lion – so sweet 🙂

Bald Eagle
This Bald Eagle was hidden amongst a group of trees. My brother pointed him out and I zoomed in. How precious is that face?

Close up of this sweet Polar Bear
Its hard to believe that the Polar Bear is one of the most ferocious bears. You only want to encounter them from afar, or with a zoom lens. 🙂

Double Wattles Cassowary
The Double Wattles Cassowary has a very unique look. It looks like he is wearing a crown made of gold on his large head.
Giraffe enjoying dinner
We were lucky to see the giraffes up close in the giraffe house at the closing of the zoo for the day. By the time we made it to the African Savanna, the giraffes had been put back in their house for dinner. They were amazing to watch so close up.
San Francisco Zoo – see the Pacific Ocean in the background?
Bye San Francisco Zoo. We will be back soon. Especially since we purchased a Family Membership today that is good for a year. 🙂
Just love the photos, what a great day you must have had. My favourite is the lion and bear, but I really love them all. Glad I visited, on a blog hop from Katherine’s Corner.
