Vacation - Day Six and Seven

Thursday and Friday, days 6 and 7 of our vacation trip, were spent at the San Diego Zoo.  We only stayed a half day each day, with time at the beach or along the pier the rest of the day.  On Thursday, we met up with one of Marie's online friends at a restaurant in downtown San Diego.  After lunch we drove along the coast and saw (from a distance) the carrier CVN-70 Carl Vinson.  We didn't get a photo of her, the mists and distance put an end to those hopes.

Rhinoceros
It is a shame there are only a few of these creatures left.  They are impressive creatures.  This was taken on our bus ride through the park.  Alora and I rode in the first bus, Marie and the remaining girls rode in the second bus.

This guy was Alora and Arionna's favorite little animal.  They loved the big ears, and he just sat there so calmly.

The best part about visiting the zoo is seeing the diversity of life that exists.  There are so many different variations on common adaptations.

Isn't he cute?

Otter
I remember writing a paper when I was in primary school on Otters, since then they have been a favorite of mine.  So, we are going to end our visit to the zoo with a picture of this little guy.
