Seattle Zoo Trip April 2012

This year, we made another trip to the Seattle Zoo in the April Easter break.

We went on the way to Portland, Oregon to break our long drive in half.
This year, the weather is colder in Seattle for some reason...many animals just chose to stay in their home.

We could not spot many of them at all, especially the african ones...
Here are the classic ones we saw:

Orangutan

The orangutan was funny. This huge primate was holding a ball of grass in his mouth.
Occasionally, he would show the tourists his ball of grass and then put it back in his mouth again.
