Tigers, bears, no lions, Oh MY!



We were off to the Point Defiance Zoo today.  Kris and McKenzie were chosen to participate in a fun little game at the beginning of the Wild Animal show.  McKenzie's team won of course since it was the kids against the adults.  Plus they got to wear these funny hats.




 
Here is McKenzie with the male Sumatra Tiger.  There are 2 of these tigers here at the zoo.  There are only 330 Sumatra Tigers in the world.  This pair of tigers have just had cubs, so now there are 4 Sumatra tigers at the Point Defiance zoo.  













We also saw this Polar Bear.  It was sunning itself in the hot Washington sun.  There are 2 polar bears here at the zoo.


Both of the girls got to feed the birds.  There was bird seed on the end of the stick.  You hold out the stick and the birds fly down and land on the stick.  They then eat it off of the stick.  It was very fun.










There is a very large and very old walrus here at the zoo.  We discovered that walrus are very stinky animals but they are very very large!










We rode on this really fun carrousel.  We rode it about 4 times.  We also rode on a camel!


Another day ending with our feet in the water of the Puget Sound.
