This particular zoo does not have an amazing selection of animals. However, the exhibits for the animals they do have are just fantastic. The grizzly bears has geysers. Every animal there had just a massive amount of space that they were often hard to find. It must be a really nice place for them, which makes me happy. Fun zoo facts: the decor is themed around Dr. Suess; first zoo I've been to with a dolphin! Unfortunately, the zoo closed and we were scooted out before we got to see the Medtronic Minnesota Trail, which had a wolverine and a cougar. This probably wouldn't have happened if I hadn't spent forever entranced by the coral reefs.
So a quick note about these photos. Apparently the animals thought it would be fun to keep their butts towards the onlookers, so the three of us made it into a game. Goal: Take as many butt photos as possible. We were quite successful, though for your viewing pleasure, I tried to throw some good photos in here as well.
