Travel Tuesday: Ft Wayne Zoo

We had a day to explore in Ft Wayne Indiana.  We hadn't been to a Zoo in years, so off we went. 

There was an open walk through exhibit with Kangaroos, I have never seen them up front. These are Zoo roos, used to being around people, still don't touch, and don't get between them and their babies.

  2. After careful research, I have been able to identify the rare creature in the second picture. It is a dog.

    2. More likely from Richlene Kennels on Bass Lane, Fort Wayne. He's called Tyson and his previous owners - Frank and Rosemarie Schwarzklopp couldn't handle him any more.

  3. Your collection of animal photos along with a cup of coffee is a pleasant start to the day. Love the penguins and the mama giraffe with her young one.
