Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium

Northwest Trek

This billy goat, a mountain goat, is staring at the tram.  Behind him is the narrow roadway for the tram.

Northwest Trek

This eagle had been injured and cannot fly.  It has a safe home in its pen.  Since no bars or wire mesh are between the eagle and the camera, zooming in for a close up photograph is easy.

This walrus seemed to pose for his audience.

Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium

One wall of the polar bears' pool is transparent, so people can observe the bears as they swim. The bears, seen through this observation area, seem to have a slightly greenish hue.

Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium

In the aquarium jellyfish swim with mystical sounding music in the background. The back wall of the tank is dark. A narrow beam of light from the top illuminates the delicate creatures as they slowly swim.
