The Zoo

Filed under: — Andy @ 8:08 pm

I am still going through my pictures of Yaeyama when I have the time, but first my trip to the zoo… which I went to before I left for Yaeyama. The Zoo is called "Kodomo no Kuni” which means Kids Country, and also has some other attractions for kids but is still mostly a zoo. I went with a friend from my calligraphy class. She used to volunteer at the zoo, so she acted as a tour guide and showed me around :) There were all the typical animals you would expect to see in a zoo:


These were real live hamsters just sitting there all day for people to take pictures.


The lion was sleeping the entire time


At the petting zoo. I also got to hold and play with a snake and bunnies.


The special exhibit at the time was a trick art museum. There were 3D paintings, cool science demonstrations, and just lots of stuff to play with.

  3. FYI Those are Guinea Pigs, not hamsters. And despite the name, they are not from Guinea, but the Andes.
