More from the Zoo

Hello Alec and friends,

Happy Wednesday!!!    The first thing we saw when we entered the zoo was their mascot.  Do you know what a mascot is? A mascot is a person, place or object that is thought to bring good luck.   Can you think of a mascot?  I bet you can...... how about..... Wapak's mascot

or the Ohio State University

 



The zoo has a mascot (sorta) maybe it is more like characters at an amusement park like

The Indianapolis Zoo mascot/character greeted Chuck and I, what a fun way to start our day.

Here is the first animal picture, a sea lion.  There are several of them at the zoo

One of them is called Ray and you can read his story  here
Here is this same sea lion trying to get back into the tank, he stayed there for awhile and then changed his mind and laid back down on the concrete below.  The zoo worker said he is fine, sometimes the other sea lions make too much noise and he needs some time away from them.

Next up is the dog shark petting pool!!!  Yes you can pet sharks!  Well, they aren't the big sharks...

 

There is someone touching one of them...... it was alot of fun! 


Penguins!!!!!!!  Our camera didn't do so well taking pictures

The zoo has 3 species of penguins:

 King Penguin

Gentoo Penguin

and Rockhoppers

That is enough blogging for today!  I hope you enjoyed it. 

There is much more to come!
