A day at the Warsaw zoo

Adam, Delaney and I had a great day at the zoo, even though it was raining on and off the entire time. Carolyn got some alone time at the Uprising Museum.
The reviews of this zoo were all very positive, and I enthusiastically add my praise. It was described as a beautiful park with animals in it. So very true and I could have spent days there (I love zoos).

Birds exhibits are very numerous at this zoo. Here, the kids size up a condor's wingspan.

This is what Delaney and Adam are looking at ⬇

All the boxes you see are filled with spiders, scorpions and other VERY creepy crawly things.
This is what Delaney and Adam are looking at ⬇. It is about the size of my hand (and it was not the biggest spider there).

We guessed that it was feeding time for the seals ⬆.
We were right ⬇.

The seals were trained to put their noses on their shape (star, square, fish, etc). Once they did this, the man blew a whistle and they all looked up and were fed. Sometimes, one of the bigger ones would try to snatch up a fish from his/her neighbor. The trainer would say the animals name and the offender would quickly place his/her nose back against the symbol (with the appropriate sad puppy face looking back at the trainer).

These bears were much more active than the two at the Sedgwick County Zoo back home.
