Exactly one year ago I visited a zoo in the winter time. However, it was a hot day and I can just imagine what it would have been like to visit the Sao Paulo Zoo in the summertime.

The post that I wrote that day was titled Anteater to Zebra.

Tonight I will share some more pictures to fill in some of the space between A and Z.

Here is a aerval (Leptailurus serval). This is an interesting looking cat. The serval is a wild cat from Africa and is a bit bigger than the domestic cat.

Just like many cats it likes to sit in the sun. I really like this picture with the nice shadow.

Here is an iguana basking in the sun, or at least partially in the sun.

This southern white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum simum) was in the shade since it was a hot day.

I like how all of these turtles are lined up along the edge of the pond. I took many pictures of turtles in different enclosures and they always seemed to be lined up.

It looks like tortoises like to line up also. Here we have a line of Aldabra giant tortoises (Aldabrachelys gigantea).

These tortoises are big and can weigh over 500 pounds.

These come before Anteater to Zebra, so I guess we will just call them giant tortoises.

I hope you enjoyed this trip to the zoo.
