We love the zoo

We went to the zoo a few weeks ago again with one of our playgroups.

On the baby elephant statue by the elephants (too bad there aren't any in the background).


What did Connor see behind those bars?

A tiger, as you can plainly see.
Cool polar bears. Because of the heat here in Tucson, it is kindof rare to see them out. We were lucky (probably because the temperatures are getting cooler here- finally).


Touching a snake in the hands-on learning center. Connor said "it feels slimy." The docent said they're not really, contrary to popular belief.



Connor wasn't too afraid to feed the giraffe this time. He actually was so quick at feeding her that I missed getting a picture. Here he is as he's taking his hand away. I decided to film him feeding the lettuce this next time (see video).



Connor was able to get really close to a zebra. That zebra came right up to the fence and everyone around was so elated.
