OMAHA - Before they turn their attention 100 percent to the Gators, the LSU Tigers were able to study animals of a different sort on Friday.

The team took a break from practice to visit the Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium, a well-regarded attraction in Omaha.

LSU spent a few hours checking out the sights, and sharing photos of the trip.

The Henry Doorly Zoo is home to nearly 1,000 species and draws about 2 million visitors each year.

LSU opens its College World Series championship series against Florida Saturday at 6 p.m.
