The last time I was at Zoo Tampa for a walk was the end of May. It’s just been to hot and humid. I saw this cute mallard family in one of the exhibits.
I noticed a great blue heron sitting on a nest over the alligator exhibit and was thinking I wanted to get back to see if there were babies but that didn’t happen.
I couldn’t tell what was going on with the flamingos in the back. I think they were flirting. They create these mud spots to nest on and I think they were working on that.
The manatee hospital at the zoo had 2 patients. They were tube feeding them both medicine. I didn’t want to bother the zookeepers and ask them what was wrong with them. I’m assuming they were sick and stranded themselves and were rescued.
The manatee in the holding pool was sharing his lettuce with some mallards.
All lined up.

These primates were so funny to watch. How nice of him to pick the bugs off his friend.
Hello,
Great collection of critters. I do hope the manatees recover. Love the Mallard ducklings. The flamingos are beautiful. Cute shot of the otter and the turtles.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a wonderful weekend.
It really has been too hot and humid for many things this summer. I try to find an open trail and hopefully a breeze! Love your photos. Would enjoy spending the day there!
I love the zoo!! Now that school has started I might visit during the week. I love manatees and the flamingos are always a favorite of mine.
Very beautiful photos. Very nice.
Wonderful images! When I go to the zoo, I enjoy the otters. Love watching them play and swim.
Have a wonderful week.
Take care and best wishes.
