The Zoo - Wed., November 19


Katie and I went to the San Antonio Zoo this morning for the first time. I'm not sure why we waited so long, but we'll now be going back again. It's not as nice as the Pittsburgh Zoo (for example, Pittsburgh has at least 6 elephants, while today we saw only 1), but there's still a lot we haven't seen.




I'm not sure what Katie's favorite was, but it was funny to see so many animals sleeping. We'll have to go again when the weather's a little cooler (it was probably 72 when we were there, and warmer in the sun), and see if they're a little more sprightly. We did enjoy watching the gibbon family a lot, including their year-old baby boy. He was just as exploratory and fearless as any human toddler boy! Katie's not that physical, but it was just as much fun trying to get her to pronounce the names of the animals -- "bibirusa", anyone? (That's an African warthog, if you didn't know -- I didn't.)
