Today Mark and I went to the Kristiansand Zoo, which is the largest in Norway. What surprised us is how close we could stand to some of the animals. In the exhibit below featuring jungle monkey and bird species there were no guard rails or fence.

Mark and I particularly enjoyed the Nordic animal exhibit, especially because we could watch feeding time. Here a European lynx waits for lunch.

An artic fox finishing his meat.
The grey wolves were skittish and wouldn't come to eat all of the meat even after the zoo keeper left.
A European otter waiting for his fiske.
Mark feeding the otters. One of the otters was so excited about the prospect of his fish lunch that he clapped, and he was quickly rewarded by the zoo keeper with a plump herring.
