Taipei Zoo

We really enjoyed going to the Taipei Zoo! It's so much better than the San Diego zoo. The habitats are bigger and more natural and the animals are a lot more lively. We went twice and it wasn't crowded either time. The best part is the admission is only NT $60, which is about $2 American! Quite different from paying  over $30 for the SD zoo.




 They had a ton of animals. Our favorites were the lions, bears, hippos, pandas, and monkeys. 

the hippos were getting their habitat cleaned so they were just hanging around


They had a lot of...interesting...signs and facts about poop. They call it "poop art."


Notice the "splash effect" this is showing how poo is recycled.

So basically the zoo and other places  have a lot of uses for "poo"





according to the sign the panda is "scent marking" his territory (these are not things we would have in the States)

This is an elephant's rear end with lots of multicolored "poos" around it.
