Thereโs lots of tourist centered โholidaysโ this month, so today we will highlight National Tourist Appreciation Day. I donโt want to say that zoos wouldnโt exist without tourists, but it would be very hard. Tourist = you and me, and without us zoos probably wouldnโt thrive. 180-200 million people visits zoos and aquariums every YEAR! Itโs hard to find recent and trustworthy sources to rank attendance for zoos across the country, so Iโll just mention some of the most โpopularโ. (As well as zoos i havenโt highlighted before) Celebrate tourism and yourself today! #nationaltouristappreciationday #tourism #scratchoffjournals #bookstagram #journal #travel #travelbook #bronxzoo #kansascityzoo #stlouiszoo #lincolnparkzoo #brookfieldzoo #zoomiami #denverzoo #sanfranciscozoo #woodlandparkzoo

The ethics of Zoos are constantly debated with animal activists. Zoos do a lot for preservation and conservation within endangered and injured animals- but these animals are also stuck in sometimes small enclosures. What is your opinion on Zoos? #kansascity #zoo #animal #kansascityzoo #kansascityzooandaquarium #cute #naturephotography #natgeo

The sand cat (Felis margarita) is a small wild cat that inhabits sandy and stony deserts far from water sources. With its sandy to light grey fur, it is well camouflaged in a desert environment. Its head-and-body length ranges from 39โ52 cm (15โ20 in) with a 23โ31 cm (9.1โ12.2 in) long tail. Its 5โ7 cm (2.0โ2.8 in) short ears are set low on the sides of the head, aiding detection of prey moving underground. The long hair covering the soles of its paws insulates its pads against the extreme temperatures found in deserts. https://bit.ly/Sand-cat #sandcat #kitty #kittycat #kittylovers #kansascity #kansascityzoo #zoo #sleepycat #sleepycats #sleepycatsofinstagram #fluffy #fluffycat

Itโs been well over a year since our last trip to the zoo. How does that happen? Our gorilla lover has been pestering us for another visit so we planned it during birthday week. Ella took the day off work and even Nathanael was able to join us for a couple of hours. We took the tram to Africa and made a beeline for the gorillas. Look at the joy on Emmaโs face! She was so happy to sit next to one of the gorillas. We admired the intricacy of their hands and feet. We were thinking they were so large until we got close to the elephants. Much larger feet and a lot more wrinkles. Just like my face. ๐ After a quick picnic, we took a casual stroll to see a few more animals before hopping back on the tram to the aquarium. It was our first time seeing this new exhibit. Oh my goodness. What an amazing job they did! I canโt believe we get to see all these incredible sea creatures in the middle of the country. Such a blessing! I caught a preteen out of her natural habitat, adapting to the environment as best she could. She was only on display, talking to her friends, for a short period of time. So glad we caught that beautiful exhibit before she rejoined the herd. ๐ The sharks were creepy. So were the eels. The fish and sea anemone were beautiful. However, the jellyfish were the most impressive by far. At least to me! I could have flopped on a blanket and stayed there the rest of the day. Majestic! Reluctantly, we headed back towards the exit. Nathanael had to leave us right before we took a train ride. Couldnโt leave without buying fudge. Everyone crashed when we got home. All that walking and fresh air wore us out! I canโt wait to go back and see the areas we skipped today. Burgers and fries for dinner. A couple loads of laundry. Thatโs about it for our day.
Had a blast @kansascityzoo and the new aquarium! The animals were more active than I have ever seen in my 35 years of going to the kc zoo. ๐ค๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ฆญ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ . . #kansascity #kansascityzoo #zoo #animals #familytime #earthday

Quick trip to the zoo today ๐ฆ #kczoo #kansascity #kansascityzoo
Littlefoot, a very special king penguin at @kansascityzoo , just placed second in a March Madness-style voting competition. So I made a miniature version of him. Thereโs more information on the KC Zoo website about Littlefoot. Iโm not quite done with this, as Iโm planning on embroidering on his eyes. That said, Iโm pleased with something that I started this morning from bits of fluff. #kczoo #littlefoot #kansascityzoo #kingpenguin #needlefelting #crafty #crafting #kccreatives

If you have seen the ZooMobile out and about in Jackson and Clay County recently, it might have been our education team dropping off books to Little Free Libraries like the one at Southeast Community Center. A few of our ZooED units were discontinued over the past year, and the accompanying reading materials will now be shared with the community! #kansascity #education #zoomobile #kansascityzoo
