A trip to Dublin Zoo

Dublin Zoo

When we lived on the opposite coast of Ireland, we were regulars at the local zoo and indeed we were annual pass holders, so we us ed to go every second month usually.

The photos below are from a more recent visit when we travelled up from Galway.

The giraffes in the African Plains were always a big favourite with our boys.

Orangutan

You can't go wrong with the primates at the zoo as far I'm concerned. Whether it's the monkeys, the gorillas or the orangutans, they're always a bit of craic and are generally getting up to some sort of mischief, especially the infants!

The Lemars are always a highlight and are always up to some messing or shenanigans.

Then there's the Okapi. Hands up who's heard of these guys before 👀 👀 👀

Yep zero hands up, just as I thought 😂

What a beautiful zoo!! I love the variety of animals it has, personally I have never seen any of those in real life, only in photos.

Zoos are always so much fun to go to. You got some great shots. I've never seen an Okapi in person before, they are pretty uncommon. Looks like it was a nice day at the zoo!
