There is a lot of good views of the critters in the Assiniboine Park Zoo in the winter. Most of the animals live in the climate that we have here and get much more active in the winter than in the summer, when they would rather find a shady place to sleep.
I went there yesterday when I was not volunteering, so I can enjoy watching and taking photos.
First up were the Bison, but I only took a couple of photos of Blizzard.
Then I stopped at the Wolves.
Alaska, the Arctic Fox was next, but she was sleeping.

Then it was time for the Polar Bears and they certainly did not disappoint me. Bears just wanna have fun!
You can see 7 Polar Bears in this shot.
The last 5 photos were taken inside the Tundra Grill where I stopped to have a great breakfast. 🙂 The bears were right outside the window wall.
Then I headed over to the Snow Leopards.
The next one is a re-take w/o tongue.
Then it was time to head for the Stingrays. The Zoo has Cownose and Southern Stingrays.
Toucan Ridge was next.
It was a great day for a good outdoor walk. There are several spots in the zoo where you can go inside to warm up or to look around. This brought me back to the entrance, so I was then on my way home.
Great photos Mavis and it looks like the animals have much freedom there and don’t live in small cages. This should also only be old times living in zoo.

Thanks Irene. Yes, these days the good zoos have much larger enclosures for a more natural life than back in the old cages that they used to keep them in.
