On March 12, 2011 we decided to check out the Sedgwick County zoo for the first time. We got annual passes so we didn't have to rush through any of the exhibits and can come back whenever we want. The zoo was really nice, alot of their exhibits are in large enclosed building, but nonetheless extrememly large and spectacular.
We didn't see everything the first trip, but here are the pics we got so far:
Flamingos

Giant tortoise: these guys stood so still and moved so slowly they almost looked like statues.
Rachel wasn't really interested in them.
The Jungle building was really neat, because they had the birds, mammals and other animals mingling amongst each other and us. There was a walking path for us, but the animals would come right up to you.
I don't remember what this bird was called but it was right next to us and kept making weird noises.

The swan wanted Rachel to feed it.
One of the grizzly bears was sleeping, but this one put on a show for us. He kept playing in the water, grabbing his feet, chewing on his paws and playing with a ball in the water.
Turkeys...
Bald eagles
Mexican wolves
