Riverside Park and Ralph Mitchell Zoo

Riverside Park, 1736 N 5th St, Independence, KS 67301

A few months ago on a lazy Sunday afternoon we drove

to Independence Ks. to the Ralph Mitchell Zoo

 This is a fun zoo to visit
they have a variety of animals

I like the Monkey House 

it set inside a moat with 

a nice size fence the surrounds the enclosure. 

This poor Donkey looks like he has been 

used up. 

I have never seen a sway back as bad as this.

There are a variety of Birds to see

The Fox was asleep 

There was a pair of raccoon's  having fun in the sun

Then the mountain lion 

and we can't forget the bear
