Buenos Aires Zoo

Polar bear


Lake in the entry to the zoo
This was part of a weird exhibit on dragons in what appeared to be old cages.
These were free range! Does anyone know what they are, though?







Baby ducks
This was a really cool building, but it was all closed and boared up.

Lemurs!


Pygmie hippo.

I think the little unidentified creatures that were free range are probably microdeer of some sort. Argentina and South America in general have several species of microdeer (name is self explanatory) that we don't have here in North America. Did they look like little deer up close?

I've just been in that zoo 2 weeks ago while i was staying at my uncle's Buenos Aires apartment . I had such a great time in argentina. That zoo is amazing, i think i took pictures and fed almost every animal !
