Toronto Zoo

Posted on May 24, 2010

Going to the Toronto Zoo on Saturday was a gamble. Weather forecasts varied from a definite rainstorm a week prior to low chances of rain on Saturday morning. In the end, we found that enjoying the zoo was best done without a huge crowd, which the weather certainly played a role in controlling.

The zoo is divided into 7 geographically divided sections: Indo-Malaya, African Savanna, Canadian Domain, Americas, Tundra Trek (which is relatively new), Eurasia, and a section tailored for kids.

Peacocks roamed free all over the zoo.

My favourite was the Australasia Pavillion - specifically the Great Barrier Reef. It brings no doubt how mesmerizing scuba diving is.
