The London Zoo
We decided to pass by the London Zoo today since its in Camden Town close to where we wanted to do some shopping. The zoo is larger than the Kuwait Zoo (duh) but much smaller than the San Diego Zoo. They have an incredible gorilla exhibit surprisingly with around 3 gorillas. The zoo looks like it was built in a forest, the whole area around the zoo is a huge green park with hills and trees and the inside of the zoo is the same. The zoo is actually split in two with a canal passing through, you need to cross a bridge to get to the other side, very cool. There are a couple of more pictures if you click on continue.

A few years back London Zoo was going to be shut down due to them being broke.. The emir of kuwait (sh. Jaber) donated to them a million pounds sterling to keep the zoo open.

Cool that was interesting. Well the zoo now does have an indoor rain forest, an aquarium and most importantly their biggest attraction, the gorillas.

Not everything. The aquarium at scientific center is wayyy better than the one at the london zoo.

The zoo is larger than the Kuwait Zoo (duh) <== that really really cracked me up lol Thanks for the pics. They look interesting except for the penguins. They on the otherhand look tres adorable! Can’t tell what’s in the last pic though. I tried to guess but I really can’t cuz they look blonde sheep only with a cat’s head instead of sheep’s. Plus they’ve got racing stripes so they’re really fast, and apparently they can stand on thier hind legs. So yeah, no clue what that’s in the last pic.

Zoos suck! How would you like being taken out of your natural habitat and poked, prodded and stared at until your dying day?

I’d go to a zoo but most of the time they smell like shit..literally. Plus, I always end up eyeballing the monkeys.
I go on my clint eastwood pose and go ” ‘Ey Boi! Whatcha lookin’ at, boi?”
