Hi Says The Tiger, Bye Say The Lions

Wednesday we hopped in the tram and went to our little zoo.
And were greeted by a tiger in the City of Henry the Lion... hmmm. Homework, guys?

But it´s a nice, little zoo anyways and so much new stuff, too, look at this arty bench:

But certainly also animals like this cute raccoon:

These bunnies even have flowers on their "balcony":

Australian zebra finches:

And a very sad and silent not at all laughing kookaburra...

A wonderful carousel from the year 1894:

Oh and we´re really advanced now, too (sorry can´t stop ranting about this one!)....

A pager for when our food is ready, inviting us to visit the even smaller zoo Essehof.
Which would´ve been a great idea.
Just the food ...

...from this clean looking place:

... made us both very sick. So we couldn´t go.
It´s Saturday night now and I´m nearly back to feeling good again...

The only lions btw were these:

But we saw these cute storks:

Some chicken (yes, we´re in the city, kids don´t see these animals here anymore but in the zoo...):

... and after the sign saying ponies and donkeys may bite, we saw this one with a muzzle - never have I seen something like that -

...and petted a horse instead (with heaps of respect)...

The loos (I didn´t need to go in that heat):

This little zoo is made with so much love for detail, here a French-styled bench (too hot for me to sit down - metal in summer, huh?!):

A beautiful pot with flowers...

A (metal) swing:

And another beautiful French little place to sit down:

A nearly hidden King Frog:

A fairy...

A beautiful playground...

Here you can relax...

... the garden...

I took some 80 pics of this beautiful place.
Small, but really nice.

If you care about the salad-thingy, please read the comment to this post - thanks Grace, I am a happy salad now (still a tad afraid of Big´s words not coming true...)
