Despite it being the hottest day of the year so far (in the 90's), my mom and I went to the zoo after work. Normally the zoo closes at 5, but this was one of the Wednesdays that it stays open until 7 for zoo members. I was not as crowded as it is during the day which made it very nice. We took our time walking through the new African Journey and did not do the whole zoo like I did this weekend. There were things that I saw better on Saturday and then there were some animals that were better this time.
It took some coaxing, but I got mom to stick her head in the lions mouth!
Guess what! I got to feed one of the giraffes! They are my second favorite animal. (I bet you can't guess my first favorite!) His tongue was very long and rough.
