Copenhagen Zoo

The mourning after the visit to Tivoli saw me with some free time to spend in Copenhagen outside of Tivoli. One option was to see the Little Mermaid statue, this was my third visit to Copenhagen, and I still haven't seen it. Though I'm pretty convinced it's main purpose is to give souvenir makers something to put on their souvenirs.
Instead, rather typically for me, if I'm not at a Theme park I often end up at a zoo. I wasn't expecting much from the zoo's website and advertising, but it turned out to be a pretty good and large zoo. It included some big animals such as lion, tigers, chimps and elephants, and also had some other nice sections as well.

One of the main attractions is a pig primate house, including Ruffed Tailed Lemurs, and a large number of Monkeys, including these Baboons with babies.

Next to the elephant house are the Sea Lions.

What Zoo would be complete without Penguins?

One of my favourite areas of the Zoo was the tropical house. It had a amphibian and reptile house area, and this walkthrough area where you can walk in the recreation of this jungle with the birds.

There is also an area with a large number of butterflies, and a couple of hummingbirds to look out for.

Also in the tropical house are a couple of crocodiles.

The same building also has another separate area which is home to a large group of Chimpanzees.
