Isn't it, though? There was another little tiny baby there, too, and then the little teenage one that kept stealing food from everyone and causing problems

Oh, just thought I'd also add that that little Burmese Mountain tortoise is the one that inspired me to finally get the tortoise I had really been wanting. I went to the zoo in late May, saw and fell in love with him (when he tried to eat my finger through the glass) and had Carl within two weeks

Nice pictures!

Just noticed. As I was looking at your zoo pics, an old Frasier show is on the tv and Frasier is at a Zoo doing a speech for fund raising. Too funny.

That one was a baby, in the enclosure right next to it, there was the big one, about 5 times bigger

Eh..... they don't get much bigger then BCC's males around 8 foot, females around 10-14, not too big at all, much better than a pissed off 20 foot retic

What no lions and tigers and zebra pictures? Our zoo is still in my humble opinion the best one in the country (with one in Florida coming in really close). My daughter has been wanting us to go to the zoo, but with my work, her work, my knee, and the heat we have not yet made it. I use to go there every year for my birthday. My favorite family picture of me and all my children was taken there on the big tortoise statue back in one of the gardens. I feel a trip to Omaha coming in the near future.

that brown mountain looks so dry

Great pics, thanks for sharing.

We skipped the big cats and the zebras. They are just so out of the way You should definitely come up soon, there are a LOT of baby monkeys in the Jungle

I love our zoo!

The jungle is always my favorite part, I never miss it.
