Zoo Life

We decided to go to the zoo today. We had tried to do this one other day, but got there after the zoo was closed. So, today, we arrived around 11am. We headed right over to the baby elephant viewing. Last time we went the line to see the elephant was at least an hour long; today, you could walk right up to it. The elephant was pretty cute trailing after his momma. From there, we headed to see the very exciting prairie dogs (note the tinge of sarcasm). We avoided the rest of North America. Jeremy likes it; I find it a bit repetitious since we live here. Instead, we viewed the aquariums with fish, the manatees, the gorillas and bonobos, the reptiles, and glimpsed the alligators and flamigos.

I must say that one of the highlights of the visit today is the Zoo Show we watched. They did a great job at entertaining during this 25 minute performance. There were animals coming and going from all over the place. There were wild things - skunk, tapir, porcupine, parrot, pigs, etc But the coolest thing was they had adopted over 100 animals from the local shelters to train. So there were all kinds of dogs and cats running in and out and doing all kinds of tricks. It was such a cool idea to bring new life to those animals abandoned or surrendered. Anyway, if you are at the Columbus Zoo (the #1 zoo in America!) at 12, 2, or 4, stop and see the show; it'll be worth your time.
