Chula Vista Nature Center...and the zoo.

We got a Groupon to go to the Chula Vista Nature center so on memorial day we went to check itout. My favorite thing was the Sea Turtles.
We had fun checking out the walking trails, petting the bat rays, and looking at all the cool birds.

Allison loved how the puffer fish looked like he was smiling.

The Zoo.....
Can anyone guess what this animal is?
This is a Pangolin. It isn't really related to anything. It has a tongue like an ant eater and can hang by its tail like an opossum but it has protective armor like an armadillo. It can also swim and its scales are like fingernails. It was so cool to see such an unusual animal at one of our last zoo visits.
Allison drew a picture of the pangolin when we got home. Emma just loves the meerkats and we got to see the lions get fed...see him licking his lips....yummy!
