"With 106 acres to explore, thousands of animals to visit, and a huge variety of family activities, the Dallas Zoo is enormously entertaining!" ...

Below are pictures and my review of my trip to the Dallas Zoo in Texas
 |
| Seeing an animal like this for the first time. These are called Okapi ... ok, so this is what happens when a Giraffe mates with a Zebra? hehe :P |
 |
| So here's my story: 1. Attracted ... 2. Flirted ... 3. Engaged ;-) |
 |
| Alligators ... (yes, the white is a fake!) |
 |
| Anteater (I think is the funniest looking animal on Earth, sorry buddy :P) |
 |
| Beaded Lizards - actually not as huge as they appear in photo... |
 |
| Stage for bird shows that hardly last 20 minutes... |
 |
| Camels - 1 for display, 1 for a ride ... that's it! |
 |
| Chimps ... fun watching them; the little one was troubling its mom here :D |
 |
| Can feed giraffes from real close - a man was feeding it lettuce mouth-to-mouth!!! |
 |
| Different kinds of insects... |
 |
| Meerkats ... really cute when they stand, scary when they sit!? |
 |
| Population Counter ... (uh ... thanks for the information!) |
 |
| A clean Rhino without any puddle around... |
 |
| The Lonely Tiger... |
 |
| Vulture ... |
Verdict: I clicked very few pictures - there were elephants, gorilla, penguin, snakes, pythons, and some other animals, insects, reptiles & birds too. The Dallas Zoo is big no doubt, but there is not much variety and very few animals - it's like you are seeing only a couple of 'samples' of each kind of creature. Moreover, the place looked like dry & dull (may be since it was summers...) But if you are curious to visit a zoo because you have never visited one in life, or if you want a casual trip for an educational weekend with your child, then this is probably fine. Otherwise, this Dallas Zoo is not exactly 'enormously entertaining' as they claim!
