Sadly dogs are not welcome in that zoo anymore. But two in two other zoo's dogs are still allowed: Amersfoort Zoo and Ouwehands Zoo in Rhenen.
Sacha, Ari, Dunja and Jolanda
Jolanda thought it would be nice to go together, she and her husband own six Pekingese, among them two sisters of Ari: Sacha, Ari's litter-sister and Dunja, his half-sister (same sire).
These two went with us to the Zoo in Amersfoort.
We picked a good day, after some warm days, it had cooled down this day. But Pekingese legs are short and a whole day walking around is a bit too much asked. So we took the strollers with us.
Sacha and Dunja sit together in the big stroller...
...and Ari in his small stroller. The fist animals we saw were the brown bears.
Those were mighty big animals, smelling weird!Ari was a little overwhelmed.
a coypu (aka nutria)
Then we passed some awsome birds, sadly most pictures I took failed, so the only picture here is of a Snowy Owl.
We stood a while at the Asian elephants.
The lynx live in a fairly spacious enclosue, at one side you can see them through the glass, at the other side through the wire.
A beautiful Japanese garden with a pond where koi and sturgeons live.
Around the Japanese garden are the enclosures of Japanese animals. This is the Japanese crane.
