| 9/22/25 Asian elephants, Oregon Zoo |
Despite the many times I’ve visited Portland, I had never
been to the Oregon Zoo before. It’s truly a world-class zoo with a
well-designed walking flow and beautiful exhibits that enable the animals to be
seen while still giving them lots of space to roam.
I spent the most time observing the Asian elephants – three adults and an adorable baby! They can eat from timed feeders, which keep the animals moving from feeder to feeder. I had so much fun sketching an adult elephant up close while she fed. To observe more of the exhibit, I walked above the feeding area, and I could see the baby playing, mom nearby.

The Masai and reticulated giraffes, too, had an excellent, large space where they could be observed no matter where they went.
The Oregon Zoo is now on my list of regular places to visit when I go to Portland.
