Cay and I went to the zoo alone, which allowed us more opportunity to take it slow and really look at the zoo. Of course I ran into some of the usual types... my favorite was a woman who, looking at the capybara said "I've seen those before back home. Of course they weren't as big as those two (indicating the capybara) but were more the size of that one there (indicating a squirrel). They must have given these growth hormones or something. They just don't get that big naturally."
Renewing my faith was a very young girl who looked into a display and said, "Mommy, those are orangutans!" and the mother responded, "yes they are. Can you spell orangutan?"
I always have to laugh a little at some of the people at the zoo. I mean, think about the reason behind this sign:
I find it amazingly ironic that people would find the reptile feeding offends their sensibilities, yet people flock to, and point their children to, the display where tortoises are mating.
I don't see any of it as offensive. I mean, why take kids to see the wild animals if they aren't behaving naturally?
They can't always look like dad after a football game on TV:
Anyway, some of the photos I took today lend themselves to a post with an overdose of cute, so without further ado:
