Day 10-- Lions and Tigers and Bears!

I fed a baby white tiger at the Guangzhou Wild Animal Park. Sarah just wants her bottle back! Ha, ha! :) (Disclaimer: The animal trainer was standing right outside the picture frame and the baby tiger was only interested in his milk!)
Crossing the Pearl River on the way to the wild animal park.

King of the playground! This was an old playground that has been converted into a goat exhibit. Kind of strange, but the goats seemed to enjoy it!

Pandas! There were lots of pandas here!

Very tired panda. It's tough being a panda!

You could pay 10 yuan to feed the giraffes, so they were quite friendly with the crowds. Sarah loved seeing all the animals!

The zoo had a really nice Australian animal exhibit. They had lots of albino kangaroos. Who knew?

Just a great picture of the giraffes!

Another fun day of sightseeing in Guangzhou. On Tuesday we went to the Guangzhou Wild Animal Park. It was beautifully maintained and there were many animals there. They have a "Safari on Wheels" where you get on a train and ride through different areas to see the animals in their "natural" habitats. Then they also have a very large zoo area with many different animal exhibits. The park here reminded me a lot of the San Diego Zoo, but I think it may have been even bigger. We did a lot of walking! Sarah was a trooper throughout the day and enjoyed the animals.

What a great picture!
Did you ever think you would be feeding a white tiger cub with your little girl on your lap?
What a moment!
Guangzhou seems like a wonderful place, with so much to do.

It looks like you're having a great time. Cool pic of feeding the tiger. Look at the size of those paws!

Do the goats actually go down the slide?

I love the pandas. They are so comical!

I also love Sarah's cute little shoes. Are those the squeaker shoes? It must be soooooo much fun dressing a little girl each day!
