Some pictures from the St. Louis zoo

[jackrat]

I was at the St. Louis zoo on Saturday.Took a few pictures,hope you enjoy!

Flamingos

African crowned crane

Snowy egret

A greater cormerant

Due to construction,we couldn't see the galops or aldabras.I did see a group of massive Burmese mountain tortoises.There was 8 or 10 and they were huge.They were behind glass,so the pics I took didn't turn out.

I was in St Louis a couple years ago in early April and they had a cold snap.....we still went to the zoo and the gallop/ aldabra exibit was awsome!! they had a ton of animals I think 12-16 if they are refurbishing it I am going back!! I loved their reptile exibits.....

Was there any mention on a sign or anything of when the construction would be completed? I want to swing by when I have a free weekend day to see the giant yellow foot tortoises. I have been told that my baby has lineage from them, but I want to see them regardless of whether or not that is true.

No signs about when it would be complete.You could probably email them and find out.

Your pictures are so vivid and clear. Mine are always a bit blurry. I make them smaller and choose the 1024x768 pixel setting. Is that why?

Can you tell me what the little house with the ramp is in front of the flamingos?

I don't know. I just point and shoot. I honestly don't know much about my camera. They had a lot of wood ducks in with the flamingos,I'm guessing the houses were for them.
