New Hogle Zoo Exhibits

We went to check out the new exhibits at the Hogle Zoo today. Starting June 1st, the zoo has opened a new "wing" with Pacific Corridor animals. They have (more) bald eagles, polar bears, otters, seals, sea lions, and grizzly bears. The layout is awesome! You can see the animals from several different angles including above and below the water.

The eagles are in a much larger enclosure than before.

Here's a river otter venturing out of the water.

The boys playing in a hollow log.

You can see the harbor seals right up close.

The sea lion looked to be doing some training.

Seeing the seals underwater was exciting.

I didn't know seals swam upside down-- they spent more time upside down than right side up.

Apparently grizzly bears are good climbers . . .

. . . and sleepers.

Outside the polar bear exhibit

The polar bear was putting on a photo shoot in his pool.

We really like the new exhibits. We spent 3 hours and didn't see most of the stuff at the zoo. If this keeps up, it will take a whole day to see it all!
