Well, we went to the zoo yesterday. It was awesome!! It was not as far as I thought and we got there just after it opened. It was a Friday, so there were a lot of schools visiting, which meant that there were a bunch of little kids running around. It normally would not have phased me, but the teachers had absolutely no control over their classes.
It was a little on the expensive side, but they had so many wonderful animals. They have 5 tigers, two of which are white. An old lion who is living his last few years there, he looks like he was on his death bed which was rather sad. Some of the animals were hiding in the back, so we didn't get to see them. But, for the most part, all the animals were out and close enough for us to see right away. My all time favorite animal is a giraffe. Well, they had a family of five there!!! They also had a feeding station that puts the Phoenix Zoo's feeding station to shame! I was able to get some of the pellets and feed the giraffes. I had to wait a while, because a large group of students had just fed them. The male walked over first and I stuck my hand out. I wanted to see if he would take it out of my hand or if I was going to have to pour it on his tongue like the other people were doing. Sure enough, out came his rather long purple/black tongue and he wrapped his hand around my arm, and slowly took the food! IT WAS FREAKING AWESOME!!! I had giraffe slobber all over me, but it was totally worth it!
The aquarium was not as cool as the rest of the zoo. It had just opened, so it will probably get better as time goes on. There were a lot of baby animals all over, but the cutest was the spider monkey! I will create a slide show of all the pictures and attach it soon!
