These little birds share the are with the butterflies.

Next we went to the bird house which is attached to the butterfly house. It was pretty dark in here so I didn't take many pictures.

Here's the river otter.

We saw about 6 Trumpeter swans.

The Bactrian Camels (two humps).

Next, we saw the bald eagles.

And there was a wild Turkey Vulture sharing some of the Eagle's food.

The Artic Fox

And even a black tonue.

The lions

The siberian tigers.

The snow monkeys.

The oxyx.

The peacocks

A mallard

Some more trumpeter swans.

The turkey vulture was going from section to section to see what he could scrounge up.
