Tacoma Zoo

While visiting in Washington, we made our way over the bridge to Tacoma and took in the sites of the Zoo. Here are some of the amazing creatures we encountered.

The walrus. It was so interesting to watch them swim. I don't know if this is normal or just in captivity but they would swim upside down.


The Beluga Whale. This whale was so photogenic. She would swim up to this rock and just smile and look around for several minutes letting everyone take her picture and have a good look. What a ham.


It was feeding time for the otters and they were totally chowing down on these crabs.


The Reindeer. And no they really do not fly.


The Lemurs. They were so fun to watch swinging and climbing all over their cage.


The goat in the petting zoo. Pee-yew, what stinky creatures.


Here is Ruby showing me how she can pet the goat.


On our way home from the zoo we saw these cute Raccoons on the side of the road.


It is hard to see in this picture but this is the bridge connecting Gig Harbor to Tacoma.


We passed this house a few times going into Tacoma and finally had to take a picture of it. This woman must really love flowers. They are beautiful but WOW I think a little over done.
