Probably my favorite exhibit here - the Helzberg Penguin Plaza.
That has to be one of the coolest jobs there is.
I always spend way too much time in this exhibit.
Moon jellies.
The elephants were actually out in their extended viewing area today.
It was nice to see them out and not have to make the trek down to their paddock.
First time I have ever seen a hippo being fed. It was quite entertaining.
Slender-snouted crocodile
The Skyfari ride is always fun.
Black Rhinoceros
Lions. They are all male. The reason they do not have manes is because they were fixed before they grew in.
Heading over into the West Africa section
Amur Leopard.
Bongos
Red River Hogs
Lowland Gorilla
Lowland Gorillas. The toddler isn't very old.
Cheetah. This is seriously the closest I've ever been to one

Crested Porcupine.
Mona Monkeys

I love going to the zoo. It is awesome that we have two world class zoos in the state of Missouri to choose from. If you are in KC, I definitely recommend a stop. Just be sure to wear your walking shoes because the zoo is rather spread out.
