Hello to all my Steemians !!

Today I'd like to share my visit to the Orange County Zoo. This zoo is perfect for little ones who can't last a whole day at a larger zoo.

The OC Zoo is located inside the _Irvine Regional Park _ in the city of Orange. The Zoo is among the 477 acre wilderness park. The Zoo's focus is on animals and plants native to the southwestern United States.

  • The current zoo officially opened in 1985 as "the Irvine Regional Park Zoo", and has become a haven for injured animals and other animals that are not releasable to the wild.

  • Some of the first exhibits you come across as you walk in are the reptiles.

The female bear, named Elinor. She is believed to be a little more than one year old.

Both the hump and the claws are traits associated with a grizzly bear’s exceptional digging ability.

How old are you?

Age is just a number :) Best wishes

I knew you would give a response like that! =P Happy Thursday

Happy Thursday ! :)

the black rectiline with pink I have never seen in my life is a bellesa.

Actually, those are Jacob's Sheep, not goats! Trust me, I have some!

LOL - I just went to the St. Louis Zoo too! Interesting.

I will not argue with you lol. Love gif!!!

Yeah, the @little-peppers are loving the new lifestyle!

I missed your ”visit with me” blogs :) that Golden Eagle is a very majestic animal.

There's more where that came from!! <3 Thank you for stopping by ! :)

Eye-opening, the animals here are quite different from the animals in our Chinese zoo. The steemit community has allowed me to see different aspects of the world. Thank you, a newcomer from China @chineseman
大开眼界,这里的动物跟我们中国动物园里的动物有很多不同,steemit社区让我见到了世界不同的一面,谢谢,一位来自中国的新手@chineseman

Your shares are great. Congratulations @splendorhub

I get to see panther crossing signs down here in my neck of the woods.
I have not had the chance to see a real Florida panther yet.
I'll be keeping my eyes open for your favorite animal.

lol you have alligators :) Right?

We have alligators, panthers, and bears roaming around the back yards and pools of many here in Tampa.
I love it!!
Btw, you are amazingly attractive...

I would have never thought of bears in Tampa ... :) btw Thank you.

We read your post together with my son Daniil who is about 5. He liked all the animals, and especially golden eagle. Thanks for sharing it. Will follow you.

That's super ! Thank you :)

wow. wonderful place.. i love animal . miss the place . wanna visit there

My favorite is the gila monster. You took some great pics :)

He's good too lol. It makes it intimidating knowing he's venomous. Steem on :D

I like the coloring!

Good to see ya face back on here! Take care.

Thank you Kevin!

I love a good trip to the zoo! Although the zoo here is so expensive to visit!

Here too...except for gems like OC zoo :)

Nawwww, you're tiny! Bigger than a Teddy Bear but smaller than a Sloth Bear, with a smaller wingspan than an eagle.... nawwww. Love the gifs, but I especially love the headings. Fantastic post Nora... you should chuck it on @steemitworldmap... they might feature it in their daily digest.

Thank you @aussieninja get ready to see my other shenanigans hehehe. <3 and best wishes !

I like this post.

I've ever seen like that. Stories are good in the post ;)

It’s been years since I’ve been to the zoo. St.Louis has one of the best free zoos in the nation. I have no excuse.

I expect a post about that zoo lol... Seriously, you should post about it :D
All the best to you!

Wow!!!

The Snake gif was scary!

yes it was ..hehe

Hehe, Super Barbie Woman Girl, don't feed the bears hehe. Wait, don't feed the woman, hehe. Just kidding. Your first photo is you and a bear. I started thinking about the signs that would say not to feed bears. But I see no bears or honey. But then I see you. You are amazing. Love animals too. Hehe. Yeah. Enjoyed your photos. Love cats mostly. Fun to go to zoo. My dad is from California, I'm from Oregon. Oh, wanna visit with you. Great zoo. You can be bigger than that Sweet SSSJ girl on Steemit. Cannot remember her exact username but she travels the world and takes photos. But you are hotter than her, you know. Yes, you know that. Don't forget it, cow girl chick. . I see your boots I think. You are an adventure girl for sure. You might be a Super Hero.

Never knew grizzly bears are this tall.

Sadly, there are no zoos around here. I'll have to travel to the next state if i intend to have this much fun.

Hey! I'm actually coming down to the Orange County area this week for a couple of days (from the Bay Area). Would you be up for a 5 minute meet at Starbucks and Steemian selfie with a Menē ring?
