While I was visiting in North Dakota, Piper and I made a trip to the Dakota Zoo.
Like the Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park, the Dakota Zoo features local creatures…
And like our local park, there were bears..
otters,
and alligators!
The Dakota Zoo had some exotic animals, too.
This is where you go to see the tigers up close and personal. I didn’t plan in crawling through that tunnel until some guy said, “you gotta go, the tiger is sleeping on the glass ceiling”.
We went for a ride on the train and had some popcorn.
and ended the visit by spending some quality time in the playground.
Boy, that tiger display takes that ‘photos of cats on a glass coffee table’ to a whole new level !
Even Piper the princess can pose proper like a bear.
Cute. Glad you went in the tiger tunnel. You should have had Piper take a picture of you next to the bear.
There are baby bison at the DC zoom too! And groundhogs too (my favorite!).
And that bear pic is really funny!
OMG. Can you imagine alligators with legs like that to chase us down. I think the pop in Tampa Bay area would definitely go down!!
Donna, wow, just think of it! Running from alligators with long legs on the weeki wachee! Or in canoes on the Hillsborough River. Fun! Or death!
