For the sake of brevity, I will (try to) keep my commentary short so you can enjoy the animals like we did. Brief thoughts, not paragraphs!
Why are chickens so beautiful, and why was the one on top so cranky? These guys lead good lives here.
Little primates can fly from branch to branch, but this iguana reigns supreme.
Flamingos are comical birds: their long legs, their beaks, their crabbiness toward each other, their flamingo pond nearly in the shadow of an Alpine peak. And because I'm working on my naturalistic intelligence, I just wanted to share a new learning of mine; flamingos get their color from their diet of algae and other sea life that contains carotenoids. Their livers break down the carotenoids, and then the color emerges on their feathers. Newborn flamingos are grey.
Feeding the alpacas ranked high on our trip. The little guy in the last picture was eating a dead Tenenbaum/Christmas Tree. Why don't we just walk alpacas up and down our streets in December/January when they're all on the curb? Natural waste managers and cute too.
The lemurs were allowed to roam pretty freely between exhibits, and this is what resulted.
These guys are the same color as Ben's beard, right?
