Today, after a breakfast of pancakes and bacon (gotta love a buffet!) we headed to the zoo. We have been pleasantly surprised by so many things in Beijing and the zoo definitely fell into that category. The zoo is laid out well and things are spread out. Aside from the tigers, who were nervously pacing, the rest of the animals seemed to have adequate space and all looked well cared for. Interesting to us - the "do not feed the animals" signs were frequently ignored. The "treat" of choice seemed to be lettuce?
Julia, if you are following along, unlike the Moscow zoo all of the animals were a safe distance away and had appropriate moats/walls and fencing. We were totally comfortable letting Bennett stand up next to the fencing for photo ops.
The pandas were definitely the a hit. They are so cute up close!! They were lounging around and only got up to play when food was involved. Kinda reminded us of our pets back at home.
