The Rainforest at The Cleveland Zoo

We took a little trip up to the Cleveland Zoo 

to spend some time in The Rainforest.  

Monday was a great day to go since it was in the low 40's and there were hardly any people there.

The low temperature was hardly a concern though since it's a pleasant and humid 80 degrees

 inside, which made for a nice winter get-away.

BigJ and LittleJ starting down the path through the forest.
It leads to a hidden spiral staircase to the upper level.

Here are a few of the animals that were on exhibit.

This chameleon was on the move, slowly and carefully to the top. 
Their front "hands" are so interesting in the way they grip around the branch.

I have to say, I really enjoyed watching the anteaters in this exhibit.
They are amazingly weird looking creatures!!

Can you believe this snake?
I was very surprised when it opened it's mouth like that!

We also saw bats, crocodiles, porcupines, poison dart frogs, different types of monkeys, birds, and fish, and the orangutans.

 I ♥ the zoo. And since we have zoo passes, we'll be heading back there soon before they expire early summer.  This was definitely a fun adventure on a cold winter day, and another favorite Ohio field trip!
