Wilhelma Zoo & Botanical Garden (May 18, 2007)

Complete Set of Photos

On Friday, because Thursday was a holiday and no one had class on the Friday, we decided to go to the Wilhelma, which is the famous zoo and botanical garden here in Stuttgart. It was pretty cool - it had been a while since any of us had been to a zoo and it was nice to get out of our apartments and do something outside for once!







I really enjoyed the aquarium - they had a lot of fish (from the oceans as well as German fish), like trout. There were also alligators, turtles, snakes, and all sorts of cool animals.

Outside, they had the standard lions, tigers, elephants, etc. They also had a few polar bears, which we got to see swimming around. The two giraffes were swinging their necks and hitting each other in the butt with their heads, and two monkeys were... enjoying each other... in front of small children and their parents! Overall, it was a good time!
