Hi my dear Steemeans, how are you all doing?.
Today I would be sharing my visit to the Imo State Zoo, Eastern part of Nigeria๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฌ.
It was my first time visiting the Eastern part of Nigeria.
My love for nature has taken me to several parks and reserves in Nigeria, but I hadn't visited this one.

I had heard many amazing things about this particular Zoo, because of its rich biodiversity.

And I boarded a 9hrs bus all the way to the Imo State Zooโ˜บ๏ธ.

I got there late afternoon and couldn't wait to go in.

My first stop was the Lion's den๐Ÿฆ.
I got to take a selfie with the Queen.
Her name is Kiara.

She finally looked at the camera and we took the perfect selfie together

Here's a video of Kiara entertaining us.

Our next stop was the Crocks swamp.๐ŸŠ

You'd have to zoom in to see them.

My tour guide told us there are over 30 crocodiles in that swamp, hiding under the swampy water surface or blending in the shade.

Here are the videos

                 And

Next we went to see the ostriches

Until this happened.
I got busted๐Ÿ˜ฎ.

I guess he liked my wig and wanted to peck it off my head๐Ÿ˜.

Next we visited the Baboons.๐Ÿต

Next was this cute little fox.๐Ÿˆ

I even got to touch it's soft fur.๐Ÿˆ

Then a Porcupine

Then we remembered we hadn't paid our respects to the King of the Zoo, Tyrex.๐Ÿฆ
How rude of us.

IMG_20170909_171204_1.jpg

Who was probably pissed off by our disregard for him and refused to come out into the den.
Would you blame him?.

I also got to pose and pretend to be a badass cowgirl๐Ÿ’ช.

I hope you visit soon again
Love y'all.

ย  ยท ย 7 years agoย 

Yes, I had a lot of fun.
I forgot to mention that about 10 Racoons came out of nowhere and chased after me while I was eating groundnut. I ran until I dropped the pack of groundnuts on the floor.
They only wanted my groundnuts after all๐Ÿ˜.

Have been looking on how to meet a steemian for some quick tutorial.
am not making full use if the steemit plateform because I don't know how to use it (e.g dtube) and how it really works.

Have been to that zoo (2times now)..
And it's really really a nice place to be...
You didn't took photos of the hynas, the one that is only 2(male and female)
And they have a goat named chukwudi ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
The name of the lion is kuri ... If I remembered right.

Infact next Thursday am doing a throw back on it...

ย  ยท ย 7 years agoย
