For the second year running, we have chosen to visit the Zoo in Copenhagen, after it closes its doors. We were let in, with a small group and had a tour between 18:30 and 21:00.
After work, we jumped into the car, and headed to Copenhagen, where we met Gry and her roomie.
After the many “normal” guests go home, the Zoo wakes up, and many of the animals come out and play or relax in relative peace.
It sounded like these sea lions would be the last in Copenhagen, and that they would not be replaced, when they died. In stead they would probably use the space on a rare species that was in more need of conservation.
After the sea lions and the penguins, we visited the Pandas. The female has been in her nest for quite some time, but so far she had not given birth, and they were beginning to suspect that it was a false pregnancy.
The atmosphere in the zoo is amazing in the evening, and seeing the light dim, while walking among the animals is a wonderful experience.
After two and a half hours we had seen most of the Zoo, and were let out of a back entrance near our cars.
It was yet another great visit, and would recommend an evening tour if you get the chance.
Does your local Zoo do anything similar?
