A Wild Day

On our second day in Bratislava, we visited the local zoo. We were about the only people there!   It was a large zoo with lots of hungry animals and a fun dinosaur park at the back. 

Here are the dinosaurs - where are the people? It felt a bit like Jurassic Park.  

 After visiting the dinosaurs, we made our way to the monkey house. They were the only animals that appeared to have had a recent renovation and they actually had a really nice monkey house.  They hung out right by the glass and seemed to enjoy the interaction.

What are you looking at?

Cutest baby monkey ever. Fascinating to watch.                                      

We had already visited the tigers once, but stopped back by on our way out. They were all inside and had just been fed. We have seen the tiger feedings at the Houston zoo, where they get a nice slab of meat that looks like it came from the local grocery store. 

Here, the tigers got a nice leg of some poor animal - fur, hooves, and all. The circle of life, I guess! 

Legs laying everywhere - yuck!                                

The tigers liked them. 

Mr. Lion was beautiful, and mad that he didn't have a leg to eat.
He was inside a tiny enclosure and roaring...it shook the room! Amazing animals. 

We got back to Budapest and headed straight to a birthday party at our zoo. At the party, the kids got to feed the elephants. How fun is that? Cade was super brave and said, "It's not scary." Chelsea loved it, too!
