While in Innsbruck a few weeks ago (for the Parallel and Distributed Computing and Networks Conference) I though it would be a good idea to visit the Aspena Zoo. It’s been quite some time since I last went to a zoo so it should be fun. Actually it’s more than 14-15 years since I last visited a zoo -back in my hometown, Thessaloniki! I have been in London for more than 5 years now and I have only managed to go to the London Zoo a couple of weeks ago (more on that later).

Since I was on my own in Innsbruck, I had plenty of time to spent with animals I really love, such as bears and wolves. So I stayed with the (lone?) bear for about 30 minutes, and I spent more than 45 minutes watching the wolves (about 9-10 of them!) howling, running, playing, fighting, eating! So here is a glimpse of the wolves, and the bear photos will come in a few days from now… Stay tuned…
