I finally met another zoo in person!

Today I met up with another zoo for the very first time! (I won't say who until he gives me the go ahead once he sees me message. I forgot to ask him if it's okay to post about it, but I'll keep it vague until then. Lol)

Him and I went to a rescue/rehabilitation zoo around the area where I live, and it couldn't have gone better! There was quite a bit of staff cleaning the enclosures and feeding the animals while we were there, and they even explained everything to us while they were doing it!

Thankfully this zoo really works hard to make sure the animals are properly stimulated and don't suffer from zoochosis.
There was a pair of grey wolf puppies pacing at the fence of their usual enclosure while a lady was cleaning it up, but I think they were just wanting to get back to their regular area with their toys.
And the coyotes they have were trotting around the whole cage the entire time, but that might just be because coyotes are natural crackheads! 😂

Other than that, all of the other animals were looking healthy and happy in their enclosures!

After the zoo, we went and had some lunch at a local restaurant and chatted some more about our interests!

All in all, it was the perfect first time meeting another zoo for me, and I couldn't be happier about it!
 
Sounds great, in fact. Glad to hear people have fun by simple things like that
Well, getting to look a grey wolf in the eye that is sitting 3 feet away from you with just a couple of fences between us is a pretty amazing experience, no matter how many times you can go see them. Not to mention the brown bear and cougar! 😆

Plus it was my first time meeting another zoo in person after 16 years of knowing what I am. Lol
 
That's awesome!!!! How did you get to the point where you were comfortable meeting up? I'd be so nervous :ROFLMAO:
We had been chatting off and on for a few years beforehand, and we first met up at a park in my town.

I was so nervous, not gonna lie! I kept getting butterflies in my stomach the whole morning before we met! Lol
 
You met a zoo,… at the zoo? Cliche! Lol
I thought the same thing, but it just makes sense! Lol

Got to see Grey wolves, a bear, a mountain lion, and a lot of other animals! Plus, there is only about 4 feet between us and them, with just a couple of heavy duty fences blocking us.
 
Glad you were able to meet up. is there a second date planned? Do you both have animals?
We plan on getting together again sometime in the future, and possibly meet up with a few other zoos he knows.

I have 6 dogs. (Three are only 6 months old, and one is getting close to the rainbow bridge, sadly.) He has some animals, but I don't want to give any info on him until I have his permission.
 
It just so happens the zoo is only about 6 or 7 miles from where I live, so it was the perfect place to go. Hehe
I'll say, I hope you don't mind me blatantly ripping off your idea at some point 😉 Glad you had a good time finally meeting your friend, There's something about hanging out with friends in person that simply can't be replicated in a virtual environment. Hope that the two of you get to hang out again real soon!

I'd actually encourage you to copy the idea! (It was the other guy that suggested it first though actually. Lol)

This is so amazing!! I’m glad you had fun and also met this person. Would you do it again ?
 
I haven’t been to our zoo in ages. Been there a couple times. It’s nice but nothing spectacular. Glad you had a safe meet! See? It is possible! Lol
