Memphis Zoo; #1 of the 10 Top Zoos in America. Part 1

There is a website called America's Top 10 Zoos and guess what Memphis is #1. If you don't believe me check out this website. I knew that it was rated high, but was pleasantly surprised to find this website having it number one! One thing is certain, the Memphis Zoo is a great place to spend a day. Me, being an older photographer, I bought a membership so that I can run in often for 1 and 2 hour visits. It is a well kept zoo with a lot of animals to view and photograph.

Look at some of the stars of Cat County. Meet two of the three lions sharing a tender moment of cuddling.

We get to take a look at a family picnic! This is an example of how great the attractions are at the Memphis Zoo.

Of course there is a panther in Cat Country

The Silverback may be thinking, "what are you looking at?"

Meet Babu the male Mandrel

How does the song go? "Never smile at a crocodile."

Z is for Zebra

Volunteers help understand the zoo stars by speaking to small groups.

You can get your face painted.

This is just a few of the many wonderful things you can see and do at the Memphis Zoo. It will take a few more blog posts to really showcase what you will experience with a trip to the Memphis Zoo.... More to come!
