On the 28th of June, a baby seal was born. We didn't want to miss the opportunity and visited the zoo two weeks later to admire the newborn. The little one is incredibly cute and an excellent diver, although a bit clumsy while swimming - so adorable!
And of course, we also visited the red pandas, who were surprisingly active and climbing around in their enclosure. We were lucky with the otters too, catching them at just the right moment as one of them woke up from a nap and took a swim in the small pond.

eins... zwei... drei Robben Babys!
Ein kurzer Tripp in den Zoo trotz schlechtem Wetter hat sich als ein Geheimtipp entpuppt: Drei süsse Robben Babys haben fleissig Schwimmunterricht genommen - oder eher zwei, der dritte hat zusammen mit seiner Mama vom Trocknene aus zugeschaut.

Grosses Geflatter bei den Habichtskäuzchen
Ein Zoo Besuch mit ganz viel Geflatter. Nicht nur die Habichtskäuzchen waren fleissig am Fliegen, sondern auch die Storcheneltern, die Enten und Gänse - und die Reiher waren sich am Erholen.

Gecko hier, Gecko da, 28 Geckos!
Die letzten paar Besuche in der Masoala Halle waren jeweils "Gecko arm"... Das wurde bei diesem Besuch definitiv alles wieder gut gemacht!
Ich glaube nicht, dass ich jemals soviele Geckos während eines "Durchgangs" gesehen habe.

our good-by to the snow leopards
We wanted to see the snow leopards before the Zurich Zoo starts its renovation. The weather has been a bit unpredictable lately, so despite the forecast, we gave it a shot... The forecast was accurate and it rained to whole time...

Playing Gelada baboons and more
On a beautiful day, we went to the zoo. The Gelada baboon young were playfully romping around, and the red ruffed lemurs were busy eating in the Masoala hall. It was an exciting trip, with a slight sunburn as a souvenir.

Walk through the Masoala Hall
A bit of sunshine and lots of animals: T
he spectacled bear foraging for food, the coatis waiting until he was gone, the little panda observing us just as we observed him...
Simply a beautiful morning at the zoo!
Zoo Zürich
First visit of the new year
First visit in 2023! The weather is very changeable these days: first it was okay, then nice and sunny, and in the end it was wet and windy...
The animals were also rather sluggish, understandable. I would also prefer to retreat to a tree and snuggle into my fluffy fur!

Snow in the Zoo
Again, we were incredibly lucky, and we got to see the adorable snow leopard cubs being fed.

Birthday visit to the Zoo
At my birthday we visited the zoo for a short time periode. The animals must have heared about it, then they were particularly active!

Dusk at the Zoo
We love the zoo night: at dusk in the zoo implies a lot more activity of the animals!

Wolves in a different way
Today, the wolves were in the enclosure of the tiger - and we were lucky to be in to zoo too!

Winter magic at Zoo Zurich
We don't get snow very often in the "lowlands", so we quickly packed our camera and headed to the zoo to admire our favorite animals in the snow.

A little bit of Zoo before the Rain starts
This summer, the weather was unpredictable and often rainy... Today, we were lucky to take advantage of the few hours of "sun" and visit the zoo.
Zoo Zürich
Nibble, nibble, little mouse... Who is nibbling there?
Interestingly, we always manage to observe some animals during feeding time. This time, we were able to see the otters, although not while they were eating, but playing instead.

Animal Action
We had a wonderful autumn day at Zoo Zurich. Luckily, we were able to watch the snow leopards being fed and there was plenty of animal activity going on.
