This is eleventh in a series on New Orleans neighborhoods. This time I cover the animals whose neighborhood is the Audubon Zoo. It is located where Magazine Street goes through Audubon Park at 6500 Magazine Street. I played my first golf at the course in Audubon Park and we went to the zoo a lot when I was a kid. The zoo is part of Audubon Park and the Audubon neighborhood that is near the Tulane and Loyola Universities. These pictures were taken pre-Katrina in the Spring of 2005 but the zoo is back in operation. I start with a elephant series and finish with their bayou.
I love that houseboat!

Me too - My father used to take me fishing in the bayous in the 50s in the Cajun country.
