San Antonio Zoo

On Sunday, Laura and I went to the San Antonio Zoo. Five hours on the grounds left our dogs barking, but it was worth it. The variety of animals was very impressive, including some I had never seen before. There were hyenas, gibbons, all sorts of tamarins, small deer from Asia and Africa, more birds than I knew existed, kangaroos and lots more. The animals seemed well taken care of. Below are pictures of a couple snakes. Don't worry, they were safely behind glass.

Above is a rattlesnake of some sort. Its nostril is almost as big as its eye! And those eyes are crystal clear. Below is a Honduran Palm Viper. I was particularly impressed by its color.
