African Plains at Zoo Boise

We went with a couple of Allie's friend's, Natalie and Macie, to check out the new African Plains Exhibit at Zoo Boise. We made it to the zoo about 4 pm, with 1 hour to spare before the zoo closed it's doors. We hit up new area which consisted of the lions and giraffes first. I am very impressed and excited for this new section. I think we sat for quite awhile watching the lions run and play. We then went to check out the 2 new giraffe. Allie was very impressed with there long necks.

Following the new hype we went to check out the rest of the zoo, which we have seen many of times. It was a little unimpressive after the new animals. We were also a little worried as we walked through the remaining zoo unable to find some of the animals. The tigers were no where to be found. We passed by another animals cage to find the sign, "Sold to a zoo in Texas." I hope we didn't have to sacrifice the rest of the zoo to bring in the African Animals; although we quite like them.
