Memphis was the last zoo on our 9-zoos-in-10-days Tour. What a way to end our trip! Memphis has a beautiful zoo with all kinds of great, modern exhibits. The zoo entrance is impressive—you feel like you're in ancient Egypt. Primate Canyon was our first stop—it's great. Such a neat habitat for such a wide variety of primates—gorillas, orangutans, a Sulawesi macaque, and the world's loudest siamangs. The Northwest Passage is one of the best exhibits we've seen for North American animals. We love polar bears. And the sea lion show was first-class. Their exhibit is stunning, with great seating for the show. After that, giant pandas! Memphis is one of only four zoos in the nation with giant pandas, and their CHINA exhibit is stunning. It reminded me a bit of my days in Japan. We caught one of the pandas in action and got some great pics. At the end of our day, we enjoyed the cute little train that wound through all the farm animals. Memphis Zoo definitely makes it into the top 3 or 4 zoos we've seen thus far.
