Shanghai Wildlife Zoo


We were told that the Shanghai Wildlife Zoo was pretty nice, so off we went one weekend ...

Pink flamingoes ...


In the herbivore section, there were camels and deers, amongst others ...


... Bambis!  So sweet!


Zebras ...


We had to take this bus that drove us through these Jurassic Park like gates that separated the herbivores from the carnivores ...


... like the lions ...


Bears ...


Tigers ...


White tigers ...



After leaving the gated areas, we took a sorta tram like vehicle which dropped us off to see the pandas ...


Elephants ...


Tibetan wolves (they were really active, frolicking and playing with each other all over the place, so it was hard to snap a good pic) ...



Chinese alligators ... I was expecting them to be huge, but they looked pretty small ...


I think this was a tapir?  I thought it looked absolutely fascinating with that super pointy nose and long bushy brush-like tail ...


Beautiful camels ...
