PHX zoo

i know you've seen a million zoo pics from us over the last three year, but these are a little different, and i even have a few new (compared to our zoo) animals :)

who can see the wolf?



if you click on the picture, it'll get bigger too

hint: over afton's head, grey

 

pronghorns



who ever would have guessed?! javelina are zoo-animals! not just pests :)
i think they called them collared peccary



roadrunner imitating owl (both pictured)



these guys are just pictured because prarie dogs are afton's new favorite animal!

have you ever seen one of these at the zoo before?
(they were peeking into an exhibit as rayna and i returned from a bathroom run, and i thought it was funny... maybe only if you could see them from the opposite sidewalk...)



gila monsters... and girly monsters ;)




i didn't get a pic of the real dragon, but here's the girls on the statue-dragon! cool, huh?!




the kids were enthralled with the pelicans!




malachi wasn't so enthralled with the iguanas...
sorry, i couldn't help myself...




the girls were so happy to let this guy preen for us.



most of the crew :) i wasn't ready to try to focus this shot and run and jump in it with the timer, but i still like how it turned out



and finally, what do you really go to AZ from TX to see...
