The rest of the animals

We got lucky about the weather in spite of a murky forecast. The persistent rain stopped just when we were about to enter the zoo, and again started pouring as soon as we left it. But it was the animals who disappointed us. They were kind of bored of the visitors, and mostly dozed off in some obscure corner of their enclosures. An arctic fox, a puma and a Siberian tiger were very agitated though, as they diligently patrolled along their cages. I saw Polar bears for the first time. I witnessed the effort needed by one of them to rise from its sedentary position and felt their laziness absolutely justified.

Tortoise idling away

Flamingoes

Penguins from Africa. From the Cape of Good Hope

Bearded Dragon

Moon Jellyfish

We would have liked to witness some of the Victoria Day fireworks along the Waterfront, but we ran out of time for that. Instead we got to see a complete semicircular rainbow, encompassing a third of the sky. Spectacular
