Penguin Parade @ Zürich Zoo

Today we spent the day at Zürich Zoo together with Saga (Jennifer's Masters student). One of the big events there is the Penguin Parade where they release the penguins at the zoo for a daily walk. They do a 15 min walk to the elephant enclosure, then turn around and walk back - pretty much on their own initiative. The whole time there is crowd of humans following them. Quite funny.

Another big attraction is the Masoala Rainforest hall. It's nice to come in there from the cold to the warm and humid rainforest. Afterwards we took a fika in the restuarant where you have a nice view over the pond in the forest. 


Our favorite animals where the giant anteater and the eating tiger!
