THE JELLYFISH AT TORONTO ZOO

Let's watch the jellyfish in one of the aquariums in Toronto Zoo.

[And once I was served with this to be eaten as one of the food choices for steamboat but I did not take it.]

 

THE ORANGUTANS OF TORONTO ZOO

You might get tired of reading so let's just now watch a video of orangutans recorded at Toronto Zoo. Enjoy...

 

BUTTERFLY-HUNTING IN TORONTO ZOO

I decided to repost this entry (which appeared in the Toronto Zoo visit) as I found the pictures from yesterday's page were beautiful. In the earlier post, it came out much smaller so the readers could not get a better view of the colourful butterflies. You can actually google for websites that specialize in these insects and you could get to know the common and scientific names as well as their background.

I need to go to Kuala Lumpur Butterfly Park real soon. Is it still there?

A VISIT TO TORONTO ZOO

On the third day of the Toronto trip, the time came for a visit to the zoo. It was a large area and the place was divided into sections according to different continents. We spent more than five hours there, admiring the animals on display. There were a lot of people, mainly kids going on a school trip and the day was cloudy but cold - to be inside the indoor exhibition which was warmer had made me feel at home.

I have adopted a new hobby: hunting butterflies. This was also what I did when I was in one of the museums in Washington DC last week.

It was definitely another exciting trip to the zoo. In fact I will not hesitate to visit more zoos in the future.

NOTE:
(i) There will be video postings of the visit later.
(ii) My blog posting of the trip will not be in time sequence but rather in random order.
(iii) I am having problem as the pictures uploaded in picasa has exceeded its limit so that might slow things down.
