This was no ordinary Santa. As we discovered, he was more popularly visited by people's pets than people's children! People brought all kinds of pets to the zoo to see Santa! (Aile was quite fascinated by the ferret. Hmmm...)
Although we do love Chimps and Lions, as shown in this picture, our favorite animal on this trip was the cougar! (Mainly because he was eagerly prowling the fence trying to get a better glimpse of the guy's dog that was next to us! Having people's pets at the zoo added an interesting dynamic.) It was also pretty interesting to see the animals at night. Of course, some of them were sleeping. But I've never seen others of them so active! The most interesting was probably the wild turkeys and peacocks. You have to cross this train trestle thing, and about 6 or 8 turkeys and peacocks were up on the beams over our heads as we passed through! (We were careful not to stop directly under them...as one little boy near us shouted so bluntly--"we don't want poop on our heads!") :)
