The saltire at the Toronto Zoo

[McMurdo]

Today we took the wee airship to the Toronto Zoo it was a hot day but it was good to go back to the zoo. Catherine was only too happy to take photos.

The Toronto Zoo is the third largest in the world. It is divided into six zoogeographic regions: Indo-Malaya, Africa, Americas, Australasia, Eurasia and the Canadian Domain. Some animals are displayed indoors in tropical pavilions and outdoors in what would be their naturalistic environments, with viewing at many levels. It also has areas such as the Kids Zoo, Waterside Theatre and Splash Island. The zoo is currently home to over 5,000 animals (including invertebrates and fish) representing over 491 distinct species. The Toronto Zoo is currently working on the North Zoo Redevelopment. This project will be completed in four phases.

Great pics per usual. I didn't think Toronto had the climate to sustain African wildlife.
