- Now that the weather finally changed for the better, l took the train to Rotterdam zoo on 08/07/24 and had a very enjoyable day @diergaardeblijdorp
I was curious to see a few animals that aren't present at our Flemish zoos, like polar bears, Arctic foxes and tigers. l found out the 2 Arctic foxes have died recently. The tigers have an extended and quite natural habitat looking enclosure with a lot of hiding places, so one must be lucky to get them in sight. The gorilla family was hiding when l passed by their enclosure.
l also was curious about the Oceanium and was pleasantlysurprised !
I stood at the lion enclosure hoping to spot Wishu several times and eventually got lucky to see him and younger lioness Reena. Older lioness Lalana is kept separately because she's expected to have cubs soon. I plan to visit Zoo Rotterdam again later in the year to see those.
I'm showing a selection of animals, some familiar ones, some not so familiar.

The African animals are so impressive. Thank you for sharing your tour of the zoo. 😊
@DayInParadise Thank YOU for your comment.😀👍
It was such an enjoyable day. I'm looking forward to another visit next month and meeting even more animals.
Awesome pictures,cute animals🥰A lot of green everywhere😀Loved the aquarium tunnel.I walked through one in Tenerife at Loro Parque Zoo😀
@jenniferd.9817 It really was a pleasure walking around. Rotterdam zoo dates from 1857, so there's quite a lot of history behind it. And indeed, a lot of green.
As always, l was also interested to see how the enclosures are made. The hyenas could be watched from up on a bridge. That was nice and certainly because they were all active. Dad, mom and 2 youngsters. The dad came from Zoo Planckendael a couple of years ago. It didn't work out with female Luena there, but here in Rotterdam, it did, apparently.
The giraffes enclosure was interesting too and you could have a good sight of them inside there as well.
Next time, l plan to spend more time in the Oceanium! 😉😄
Thank you for your comment, Jennifer! 😀👍
All so adorable! The red panda and polar bears are especially cute to me. Congrats to mom-to-be Lalanna! By the way, Carina, I don't want to jinx it, but I seem to be getting better 😄
@emilyinoregon6967 First of all : l'm so relieved to read you're getting better, Emily! 😀👍
The red panda was very active! I had never seen that from a red panda! The enclosure is set up with a giant rock formation in the middle, so only the part in front and on one side of that rock is visible to the public. The red panda was running around it, over and over again. So fast, l couldn't even follow it while recording. That's why l only got this one acceptable photo. There are 2 deer in there, and the panda was tapping one of them on a leg, so the deer jumped up. Funny, but also too fast and unpredictable to record it.
The photo in close-up of the polar bear was a photographer's dream! Its nose almost touched the window!
Thank you for your comment, Emily! 😀👍
“Only tiger I saw” 😂 I feel that one
@laurawnphoto Yeah... l guess you know it all too well. 😉😄 So l put that in as a joke. It's kind of frustrating, sometimes, but that's how it goes with animals. No way to know for sure you can get them on photo or video or even just in sight to start with. I've seen a photo of a tiger in Diergaarde Blijdorp in front view and up close. So now l'm not sure where that spot can be. I only walked on the bridge over the enclosure.
Please read my reply to Emily about the red panda. Thanks.
Thank you for your comment, Laura! 😀👍
@@carinagryp6264 there’s a place where you can go inside, I think somewhere under the bridge? But I’m not sure where exactly. It’s been a time since I’ve been there 😅
@laurawnphoto Thanks for the information! I suspected as much. I'll try to find it next time l visit. This first time, l focused on getting Wishu in sight and spent quite some time returning to the lion enclosure. 😉😄
Are marabous those really large storks that sound like a machine gun?
The birds you mention are called shoebill storks. They have a very remarkable beak and indeed that very remarkable sound.
Thank you for your comment, Traci. 😀👍
