Continuing with the zoo visit that began here: RI Zoo 1

Emu

Possibly a Chiloe Wigeon

Masked Lapwings

Giant Anteater

White-Faced Whistling Duck

Chilean Flamingos Communicating

Digging in the dirt

Shared digging

Digging some more. The activity reminded me of the swans I see building their nests

Kangaroos in dappled light

Then in the shade

Note: Thanks, Fishing Guy at This Is My Blog for giving me the Brillante Weblog Premio Award, which can be seen on my Awards Page. I'll be passing this one on soon. I have several awards that I want to pass on as soon as time allows me.
Thank you for stopping by and commenting. I'm gradually visiting blogs this week as much as I can, given my limited time right now. Have a great day everyone.

It's interesting to see all of these exotic animals that we would never see in the wild around here.

I love zoos, too. Thanks for sharing your pictures, especially the masked lapwings, because I have a photo from another zoo and have been meaning to identify the bird in it . :)

This takes me back to the days when I used to take my son to the zoo, camera in hand. He's rather accomplished at it now but back then we had some rather odd shots taken.
I too love zoos and used to distress my mother when we were travelling about Europe together when I was in my twenties because I always wanted to see the local zoo and she preferred the art galleries. We had to compromise.

See, now I want to go to the zoo. I wish ours had an anteater. That thing looks huge or is it just the picture. Whatever the case, it sure is interesting looking! Nice shots!!

That anteater tail is amazing! Love the flamingo pictures. They're so pretty (though always stinky wherever I've seen them), and you captured them well.
