98 Seconds: The Best Animals to Visit at the Utica Zoo

For this week's '98 Seconds' video, we take a little trip to the Utica Zoo, and find the top animals you should definitely make time for during your next visit.

We're not trying to play favorites here (except for the Red Pandas, I'll pick them over anything every single time), we're just trying to make it a little easier for you if you don't have time to see ALL the animals at the Utica Zoo. This week's "98 Seconds with Naomi Lynn" video is just my opinion of the most fun animals to watch at the zoo. And you can see which ones I chose in the video (at the top of this page).

Of course (like I mentioned earlier), I will pick the Red Pandas over everything. I didn't even know what they were before my first trip to the zoo, but now they're my favorite animal - They're just TOO adorable. So obviously, I make my way over to their exhibit every time, but I think you should, too. Red Pandas are very entertaining to watch. Sometimes (okay, a lot of the time), they're sleepy and lazy and just lay on the branches with their legs dangling. But they do get up and move around, sometimes they chase each other, or just run around and it's pretty cute.

I also included the California Sea Lions in the video (above), because those guys are REALLY fun to watch. They're pretty active and it always looks like they're "playing." You definitely have to visit the sea lions if you're making a trip to the Utica Zoo.

Oh and obviously, the African Lions are in the video. It's not a trip to the zoo if you don't visit the lions. Usually, they don't move around as much as the other "must see" animals, but these big cats are just a sight to be seen.

Other animals in the video include the Arctic Fox, American Bald Eagle, and a few others. And now it's your turn - We want to hear from you. What's your favorite animal to visit at the Utica Zoo? If you only have a few minutes to visit the animals, which one are you making sure you get a chance to see? We would LOVE to hear your answers - You can always leave us a comment or message on our Lite 98.7 Facebook Page.
