Rae and I have been to zoos in Portland, San Diego, Asheville, Southern Oregon and Harlingen. When Ed and I had a day to ourselves with her, we decided to try out the Quito Zoo. Reid was away at a Volleyball tournament in Guayaquil, and we had a car for two days. So off we went Saturday morning on an adventure. I'll try not to bore you too much with all the animals...just a few of our favorite "native to South America" species.
This cute monkey guy greeted us when we strolled down the path.
And then we saw two Galapagos Tortoises playing leap frog slow motion style.
An Andean Bear checked us out while we checked him out.
Our absolute favorite of all the animals was this gorgeous jaguar.
A great surprise was a hike with information about the local plant species...ya know Ed LOVED it!!
Gotta love the ears...better to hear me telling him to get to the closest empanada stand!!
So cute, but not cuddly...
Thinking of you Millie...
Ed's new best friend who might be a distant relative...Ed aka Mr. Ed (Don't tell him I said that...)
Some skinny, teenager cows begging for some carrots!
Does he look slightly familiar? Hogwarts...Harry Potter...?
And to finish our trip and post, the back side of the most famous and endangered vulture...the Andean condor. Beautiful for the vulture variety (:
Okay, I lied...I may have bored you with all the animals. I hope your week is full of life's small and big adventures. We'll be back this weekend with more fun.
TEAM MILLIS
