Rainy Day at Ueno Zoo

A rainy day adventure

The ring-tailed lemurs were my absolute favourite.

Two of the lemurs had babies they were carrying around on their backs.

There was a strong sense of community. The lemurs always moved around as a group.

Pandas are most people's favourites. This one seemed a bit disinterested, maybe it was the rain.

I love how the colours pop because of the rain. Everything looks so lush.

These cockatoos were the liveliest of all the creatures in the zoo.

Baby gorilla and it's mom.

This baby gorilla has the sweetest face.

I love the colour of these tucans. They were also very lively.

It was nice to see a crane in Japan given the prominence of cranes in traditional Japanese Art.

My first time ever seeing a Tapir. I didn't even know they existed.

Japanese Macaques cuddling in the rain.

What a beautiful and wise-looking creature. There were both African and Asian elephants at the zoo.

Despite the rain I decided to go to the Ueno Zoo to test out my new telephoto lens. The rain provided a nice atmosphere and it wasn't too crowded. The zoo has a large variety of animals, my favourite being the ring-tailed lemur.

If you have closed shoes and an umbrella there is nothing stopping you from visiting the zoo on a rainy day.

What a coincidence - I also visited Ueno zoo on a rainy summer day! Wanted to see pandas so much... They were too cute and sleepy

O I love the ring-tailed lemurs! They remind me of the King Julien from Madagascar movie!
