We spent the day at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, which is about a 40 minute drive from the city. I was especially happy to get to see the duck-billed platypus in its very dark enclosure to accommodate the fact that it's nocturnal. It was swimming next to the glass that separates it from the viewers, so I could see it very clearly, but photography would be impossible. The following photos were taken with my iPhone. My camera photos will be for another day.

| The tiger. |
Many wild birds live in the park, including this roadrunner.

The San Diego zoo is wonderful. I was there back in the 1980's, I am sure it has changed a lot. Great photos, it is nice to see the wild birds in the park. The Road Runner is a favorite.
Take care, have a great day!
Love that tiger!
Read through your last few posts, and thanks for the memories. We did a lot of the same things when we visited years ago. I love the wild animal park, and Museum Hill. You make me want to go back.
I can't remember when I last visited a zoo!
