I love having a zoo membership. It means when the weather is so hot, like now, we can just pop in for an hour or so and not feel like we have to stay longer to get our money's worth. Sean and I had a nice little trip and the animals were really active because storms were rolling into the area. Sean showed a particular interest in the elephants and the rhinos, but his favorite "exhibits" were the water misters set up around the park.
The spider monkeys were particularly interesting this trip. They were acting so "people-like" with the women all crowded around the young ones and the males drinking from their water like a person would, using their hands to cup water and bring it to their mouths. Very cool.
The zoo has had another exciting birth. The smaller giraffe in this picture is only 18 days old. Imagine having a baby that was nearly 7-ft tall!
