Zoo pictures (many pictures!), baby elephants, polar bears, and more

Thanks! Glad you like them!

they took the elephants out of the Detroit Zoo cause it's too cold for them

Well, actually I think this is really considerate. Sometimes I wonder about that, too as it can be very cold here as well. At least they don't let the newborns go outside when it's too cold.

Very cute! I love them all Of course the baby elephant is extra cute

I am impressed by the size of the polar bears enclosure. It's not like in the wild, but at least it does not look like a small jail.

This Park makes me think about the Burger's Zoo located inside the Hoge Veluwe Natural Park in Arnhem (NL) near the German border. There are also areas with different themes and landscapes there. Something not to miss if you visit this area.

Sonia, my sister and her hubby visited that zoo in Arnheim a couple of weeks ago; she said it was beautiful!! Hope I'll have the chance to see it one day!

Yes, I was very pleased when I saw the size of the polarbear enclosure. What you see in the picture is not even the entire enclosure, it's at least twice as big. Nothing compared to the terrible cages they used to have in earlier times.

The zoo looks like it's a very nice one, and of course you always take beautiful pictures. The baby elephants are so cute!!

Hi Kirsten,
Once again your pictures are fantastic! I loved each of them, especially the baby elephant after his dust bath and the tiger licking his chops. It must have been exciting seeing a polar bear live and in person.

It looks like a wonderful zoo, so clean and plenty of room for the animals to move around and explore. And the animals look as if they're very well cared for. Thank you so very much for sharing, what a treat!
