Dallas Zoo - Koala Marsupials NOT Koala Bears!

In March the Dallas Zoo opened up their new Koala Walkabout exhibit.  This makes the Dallas Zoo one of only ten zoos in the country to exhibit the Australian marsupials.  In addition to the two koalas the walkabout exhibit also features Australian natives like the blue-tongued skink (a large lizard) and kangaroos.

Today was just a mom and Abigail day.   It was one of the first times we’ve made it to every exhibit in the zoo.  When we go to the zoo with Caleb, he enjoys reading every plaque and tidbit of information.  Abigail on the other hand is blissfully happy looking at the animals and moving on to the next exhibit. 

One of the highlights for today was Abigail feeding the giraffes.  We have been members of the Dallas Zoo for five or six years and the improvement they have made to the zoo in that time are fantastic.  There was a time when the Dallas Zoo paled in comparison to the Fort Worth Zoo, but not anymore.  If you haven’t visited the Dallas Zoo recently, make the trip!

God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds,
and all the creatures that move along the ground
according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:25
