Vienna, Austria - 7th June 2012

By: marcie08

Hi Mom!

Today we went to the zoo. It is located inside of the huge park of Schönbrunn Castle. It is a really old zoo and was awarded Europe's best zoo title twice.
We first visited the Tyrolean garden where you can see farm animals and a real Tyrolean farm house. Next we took the treetop-walk, where you walk on a wooden bridge in the treetops. You have a fantastic view over the city of Vienna from up there. We saw ants on an anthill, elks, and other animals. Then we went to the anteater feeding - that was so cool because one of the anteaters has a baby  :) After that we went to the elephant house and watched the training of the elephants. They have to lift their feet on command, also the trunk or move their ears. I would love to be able to move my bear-eras on command, too  ;)
It was a beautiful and sunny day, so I really enjoyed walking around.
We moved on to some monkeys, visited the turtels and finally made our way to the Orang Utans. There is one orang utan lady called Nonja and she is quite famous. She even has her own facebook page. She used to paint. In the café located next to the orang utan area there is an exhibition of Nonja's paintings.
The last animals we visited were the giant pandas. They are sooo cool  B)
Unfortunately there was no brown bear...

Servus!
