Nagasaki Bio Park!


Today we went to the Nagasaki Bio Park! It was terribly hot but we had a great time anyway seeing all the animals! Totoro even came along to see some things! Because our day was so busy we'll only share a few things.



First we saw a bunch of birds, then walked up a STEEP hill and into a butterfly garden. Thats were we found some bats! Cool huh?





Then around the corner, after some other animals, there were penguins! Hi penguins!




Then we fed some flamingos. Cool!






We also saw alot of turtles and some prairie dogs, then we sat down for lunch. Sandwhiches, fruits, veggies and cheese all brought from home! Yum!












Next was a small petting area, we held guinea pigs, pet the giant lizard thing, saw bunnies, hamsters, cats, birds, a pony.. and the thing with big ears. Stitch wanted to compare ears.





Then we pet and fed the Capybara. Unfortunately a little boy got bit by one :( Made them less cool.. but the baby Capybara was adorable! (Picture not shown)

Then we saw enough racoons to populate a north eastern state! I named them all Meeko :D




Totoro liked the big white Rhino.
We also saw llamas but I thought we'd get closer so I didn't take a picture.. we never got closer. But heres a giraffe!



We also saw porcupines and Skunks!

The japanese call Skunks "Skunku" ... Ayden corrected them.












Then we found the squirrel monkeys. They hung out with us for a bit, stole the food we bought for them as we were trying to get it onto our hands. Silly 'saru!'
Afterwards were some emu and red kangaroos. I hugged one. CT and stitch were jelous. Then I hugged a grey one.. and so they took a picture lounging with it.

Totoro found a bit black hippo and wanted a picture with it, then some big fish! He likes big animals, since he's big too!




At the end of the day we took a group photo in the butterfly garden. It was a lot of fun! I sort of wish it weren't so big so I could share more pictures and more information! But to find more information about the Nagasaki Bio Park (such as the animals CT, Stitch and I saw) go to http://www.biopark.co.jp/en/guidemap.html#animals






On the drive home we were looking out the window and saw the three towers. In the picture they're out in the distance. These three towers were what transmitted the message to bomb Pearl Harbor. Sort of a sad note to end the day on, but still insanely interesting!
The Bio Park was so much fun! We are definately going back again!!!
