The Xoo

Becca talks about our time at the zoo yesterday in her blog. It was indeed a fun time, especially for the girls. We were taken aback by some of the animals we saw. Almost all of the animals there are NOT from Mexico which added a little interest to an already interesting zoo.

The giraffe seen above was busy eating his breakfast of alfalfa hay. It seemed like all the animals were fed well, but the large predators all seemed to have at least a nervous tick, if not worse. Being a large and intelligent carnivore like the bears, lions, tigers, and leopards we saw must really make them go crazy with only a small patch of earth to occupy day after day, without any use of those powerful instincts and cunning they have in order to survive in the wild. I know I would go crazy!
