I took a whirlwind tour of the San Antonio Zoo. It was so very beautiful. Every where I looked there were beautiful things to take pictures of. Come with me & see just a tiny bit of what I got to see that day.

What immediately captured my attention was the beautiful landscaping. San Antonio is a great place to grow many beautiful plants, trees, and bushes. The use of vegetation along with how the hardscaping was designed is definitely a huge reason by itself to take a tour if you are ever in or around San Antonio.

I had limited time that day so sadly, I did not see a good bit of the zoo because it is of substantial size. If you stay with the map you will end up at the gate you came into & see everything. The zoo is separated into continents. The Africa part of the tour was closed & being completely remodeled. I look forward to seeing that part when I get a chance to go again.

This guy likes to come out at night time so his habitat was built accordingly.


Can you tell yet that the birds are a favorite for me. The cats are too but they were all sleeping that day because of the heat. I plan to go back during cooler weather. The monkeys & apes were so crowded that I gave up getting a good picture that day.

I loved these ducks. They are so unusual looking. Wouldn't it be fun to have a pair or two of every kind of duck. Of course I am a collector at heart but again probably not a very practical idea.

This fellow was having a good time in the water that day. I was a bit jealous since it was so hot that day.

there is a really nice butterfly house in the zoo as well. I really enjoyed my time in there. I could have easily spent the day there just taking pictures of the beautiful butterflies. They had really neat ideas for feeding butterflies. They had a birdbath with sand in it & they poured Gatorade in it for the butterflies to land on & drink. They also had a birdbath with oranges cut in half for the butterflies to land on and enjoy. The caretaker was very helpful with information.

I haven't personally been to a zoo since I was very little. Very nice pictures by the way, I love the pictures of the birds (I've always had an interest in birds).
