GORiLLAS

The Toledo Zoo is one of the world’s most complete zoos—it’s also the region’s top family destination! Let The Toledo Zoo take you from the Arctic tundra to the wilds of Africa, from the tropical rainforest to the Sonoran Desert and all points between—all in one great day.

Each year nearly one million people come to The Toledo Zoo to experience the wonders of the natural world, stroll our beautiful grounds and explore our historic WPA-era buildings. As you do, you’ll encounter animals ranging from mammoth African elephants and majestic bald eagles to tiny toads and and even insects and spiders.

Before winter my boyfriend, nieces and I went to the Toledo Zoo. I loved this picture of a Western Lowland Gorilla above because he actually looks like he posing for us (all the visitors wanting to take pictures). Honestly, the gorilla is probably used to posing for pictures and already knows what to do when he sees people with cameras because  he was looking, walked over and sat right in front of the glass and posed.
