Northeastern Wisconsin Zoo, or... Killing time before going to Bay Beach?

Well, once finding yourself in Green Bay, Wisconsin with a few hours to waste before the areas only roller coaster opens for the day...

There's the Northeastern Wisconsin Zoo.. or as its now called NEW Zoo.

So yeah, a another new-for-me Zoo credit. Woo!

NEW Zoo, Green Bay, WI.

AZA certified annddd under massive expansion!

Ooooh, I wouldn't wanna miss that!

Oh, wait. 

Oooooh! I'm excited already!!!

uhh?

Pretty.... but uh, where are the animals?

I guess the thing about being at a zoo before it even opens is... None of the animals are really out yet or are sleeping. Note to self, no need to be at a zoo at 8.30AM 

((and while on vacation!))

Well, here's some animals....

Kinda....

anyways... after about an hour of walking around an empty zoo on what was the coldest August day I've had in maybe five years... we started to see some animals... yaayyy :D

Like this little fox!

And this bison, who was pretty impressive.

This goat was being.. uh, a goat?

The lion, like most of the animals were sleeping. 

While it was nice to get to the zoo before the animals had been harassed for the day it would have been nice to see them a little more active...

MOOSE! I think this is the first time I've seen on in a zoo

(but I have seen them in the wild too!!)

Sleepy RED PANDA!!!

Mr. Wolf taking a drink.

Badger, Badger, Badger

(mushroom,mushroom)

 This bird..thing?

Giraffe, say whutttt

:D Sandhill Crane!... My favorite kind of crane?!

(I've got one in my car)

Prairie Dog snack time?!

Caw-Caw'

Where's M1?

ALSO! BEAR!!!! :D :D :D

annddd.....

Some quack-quacks. 

So yeah, Northeastern Wisconsin Zoo / NEW Zoo. Easily the second best zoo I've been to in the state of Wisconsin. Well, I think I've only been to two zoo's in Wisconsin.. but yeah, still, NEW Zoo had Bears, Ducks, Red Panda, and Crane... pretty much every animal I wanna see in a zoo but my favorite, the Hippo :( ...still, its a nice zoo and I ever found myself in the Green Bay area I'd go again.

Hey look, two updates in a row!

I've got a third and fourth set ready to go too, one last one from 2012, and a neewww 2013 set! :O

If anyone's looking here, there's more on the way :)
