St. Louis Zoo

For us one of the highlights of the St. Louis Zoo is the opportunity to view the Hippos underwater. Visitors are able to watch the Hippos move about in the water. Its interesting to observe the interaction between the Hippo and the fish cleaning the Hippo.
We were told the St. Louis Zoo has two baby elephants however the youngest one is not on exhibit yet . We were able to watch the older seven month old baby elephant interacting with its mother in the back of the exhibit. I was able to get reasonably good pictures using a telephoto lens.

Yeah, sure they do. It's borderline false advertising and almost certainly a bait-and-switch ("Oh," the keeper said, "the little cute elephant, no she's not out yet, BUT we do have a cute little titmouse hatchling.")...hehehe...
