Took the kids and my youngest brother (who will be 20 later this month) to the Bronx Zoo today. Nice day to be outside! It was a bit hot and dragging 2 kids who total about 80 lbs around in a wagon all day was not the best idea, but they had a blast. Photo ops...not so great. I was messing around with manual settings and didn't get them quite right (which unfortunately I couldn't tell until I got home that they were off a smidge or two). However, some highlights...
My daughter is already planning our next trip. Photos are loading to flickr now so I'll update with some of them in the morning.
- Today was apparently primate-pleasure-yourself day. Especially the baboons. Good thing the kids weren't noticing when the males all had a little fun together.
- Noticed for the first time some squirrel-like animals roaming freely in Jungleworld. They were jumping around in the trees right above our heads and if they were a bit slower, we could have reached up and touched them.
- Also noticed the fruit bats roaming freely in Jungleworld. They were fascinating.
- Lemurs smell very bad on hot days, even though they live entirely indoors.
