OHIO: Toledo Zoo






On Saturday we braved colds and man flu to drive an hour to Toledo Zoo in Ohio. Despite it being January we're currently having rather unseasonal "good" weather and it was nice to get out into the sunshine after being subjected to the sneezes and sniffles of the past week. Plus during the winter months Toledo offers half price entrance - what more reason could we ever need?!

Toledo Zoo isn't one of the biggest zoo's I've been to, but they do have some of the key animals to see and a lot of them were coming out to play. One of the most amazing things we got to see were the two three and a half month old Amur tiger clubs playing with their mum, a seven month old baby elephant following and copying his mother and a polar bear having a play in his pool splashing and playing with a barrel.

  2. Yeah both the tiger clubs are such cuties, trying to catch birds and play fighting with each other. I'll try uploading the video of them playing if I work out how.
