‘Cause there’s nothing more entertaining than a winter day at the zoo. Of course, not all the animals enjoy freezing temperatures, but hey, we paid to see them! So they better move their lazy behinds from the warmth of their cribs to the open air of the enclosure so we can snap a photo of them.
The Zoo I went to couple of days ago is in Amneville, France. Huge, well organized and boasting a vast array of animals from all corners of the earth. Entrance fee is 27 EUR/adult. This being said, you’re better off going in the summer. But then again, any time is a good time to go to the zoo. Enjoy the photos!

Better follow the arrows so: 1. you won't get lost, 2. you get to see all the animals

Just tired or maybe bored? Tried shouting at them but they ignored me.

And some petite kangaroos... wallabies, I guess.
And they have lions as well but by the time I saw them, the batteries in my camera were dead. Next time! Or next zoo!
