Cute Animals at the Zoo Today

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.  🙂

Anteaters are extraordinary to watch roaming around their habitat.

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

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. 🙂

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 at San Francisco Zoo

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.

Bye San Francisco Zoo.  We will be back soon.  Especially since we purchased a Family Membership today that is good for a year.  🙂

Mountain Man, Imagineer, Bam-Bam and I spent the latter half of today at the San Francisco Zoo.

This zoo is my favorite zoo, amongst all of the zoos I’ve visited with the little ones over the past decade.  The ocean breezes have a lot to do with it as well as the Lion House and the super cute train ride.
