We hadn’t been to the zoo in a while, so yesterday we took advantage of the great weather and headed out.
The highlight of our visit was definitely Mac, the baby elephant. What a cutie!
And this time, we were early enough to catch some lion activity — one of the lionesses chasing a bird. The male lion lifted his head, looked around for a bit, then went back to snoozing. We were also amused by the black spotted something-or-other (leopard maybe?) that was napping on his back with his paws in the air. How the animals can sleep through all the noise zoo visitors make is beyond me.
The only suggestion I’d have for zoo folks is to add more benches around the Duck Lake concessions area. It’s a little tough to feed hungry kids with nowhere to sit! Other than that, though, we had a terrific time.
