Just returned from my first visit to the Reid Park Zoo, in Tucson, Arizona. While not the largest zoo I’ve visited, the exhibits were very nice and provided some good views of the animals. Unfortunately, the Jaguar was at the Vet, but everything else was out and mostly in the shade given the temperature. Tucson this June was hot! Here’s some of my favorite photos from our visit.

Great photos, Jon. That had to be fun, in spite of the heat.
It was!
