Welcome to the Jacksonville Zoo! They recently opened an few new exhibits, Manatee River & Dinosauria, which is an animated dinosaur exhibit. So I decided head over and walk around for my weekend hike, and took my camera with me, (I really need to learn all these settings before I head out west).
The new entrance is all about Manatee River! I got to talk to one of the employees and the desalinization/filtration system keeping the Manatee River perfect for the sea moo-moos, and it’s massive!
Without further adieu, here’s my amateur photography attempts. 🙂
Below you will find the GPS path I took. This is mainly for my own use however, this can give you an idea of the distance and elevation in the area.
