I sure hope they do it again next year, and hopefully more than one!! With more advertising this event should become even more popular! It was nice not having kids at the zoo. Nice and quiet. (ZooMance is 21+ also for the bar by Rackham Fountain.)
I took a ton of pictures, but have to be at work early so I will post them later. I got some new pics and video’s of things I never saw there before and was treated to.
Here are the Male and Female Blue Swallow Tanager’s on the trellace in front of the Chrysalis. Notice all the greenery gone? So tragic it was cut down.
A bunch of new White Morpho’s born and released! Looks like a bunch, come quick! I hear their adult life span is 1 week!
The Camera was on a round standing table with a black table cloth, on the right is one of the tables with umbrellas from by the ZooFari Market. The white tent was where the booze was. Of course, you could walk around too!
The Arctic Fox’s where out digging and kind of playing.
The two Rhino’s in a interesting pose!!
More to come and there are more even better than these!! Stay tuned!!

I found a previous visit I did not post. I will post last weekends a little later in the week.
I only had my cell phone with me, so please excuse the small low quality pictures.
This one took a liking to me. He / she was fluttering around me alot.
My outdated bird guide for the aviary I got on clearance last year does not list the bird above. She / he was not too timid and let me get close. The ducks below are White-faced Whistling-Duck.
I will see if I can buy a new updated one along with the butterfly garden so I can post what they are.

This cannot really be seen, but the two parrots were further away from me and the came closer to the left and up the tall branch (second picture down) to come visit me. I did talk to them a little, maybe that is why.
