Virginia Zoo

While attending "Pandamania" VBS in Norfolk we appropriately went to the Virginia Zoo with our friend Drew & his sister Norah. It was a super hot day so we only braved the newest portion of the zoo, the Asian Trail of the Tiger. The zoo has grown so much since we first became members in 2005. Very pleased to see this great new exhibit!

Drew & the male orangutang. He was amazing...so beautiful to watch.
When we first got there he was playing with a frozen pizza box. Then his mate crawled in a blue T-shirt and was hiding, finally peeking her head out the neck hole.

Oscar the zoo's red panda.

Here he is taking a break from his napping, he's got the life!

They too were sleeping on the shore of their exhibit. With the intense heat I'm surprised they weren't swimming to stay cool.

Sweet Norah's red cheeks say it all...we got ice cream at Doumar's on our way home!
