One of the must-do’s in Boise is a trip to the zoo; located in the Julia Davis park near downtown.  Our summer visit to Boise took us to the zoo early to avoid the heat and to see my favorites, the Siberian tigers.  Since their enclosure is located near the back of the compound we strolled through the birds:

Giraffes:

Since our last visit they’ve added a lion exhibit:

However, with all the exotic animals for us to experience, the most exciting one was Calvin the Badger (at least for my wife…but I have to admit it was pretty cool too).  Calvin was on a stroll with the handlers and loves people…so they were having a problem getting Calvin back to her (yes, it’s a HER…but that’s another story) home.  She wanted to visit EVERYBODY!  One thing you do NOT want to do to a Badger is make it angry, so the handlers were gently coaxing her back to her place:

Another interesting animal is the Komodo Dragon:

Beautiful animals when you can take the time to actually look at them and not have to RUN from them.

Our final stop before the heat became too oppressive…the Siberian pair:
