Alaska Day 7

On our last full day we knew we needed to head back to Anchorage

but Austin REALLLLLY wanted to do SOMETHING!!!

so we finally settled on the zoo

then we had to get going quickly to make it back to Anchorage before the zoo closed

and we made it!

most of the animals were arctic animals or animals that were native to the region

it was kind of depressing seeing all the animals in cages

I don't think this is something i typically notice or care about much

but after going to the conservation center where the animals are there

because they are orphaned or injured and seeing the big open spaces they have

then going to the zoo...

well it was just depressing

first we visited the polar bear

this is a snow owl

the Eagles (this one looked very old)

Austin with the Eagles

the wolves

Black bear

Mountain goats

Leopard

Brown Bears (Look at those claws!)

back to the Polar bears

and then the Otter who was having a great time entertaining us

We saw alot more animals but these were the best pictures
