#141 – Vacant

When you go to a zoo it’s best to go in with the thought of just checking out whatever they have and not pick out a favorite that you have to see. Odds are your favorite will turn out to be sleeping or off exhibit. If you are really sad about missing the elephants you may miss the flying rabbits or the spring-loaded leopards.

    Really? My favorite animal is the tiger and whenever I go, it’s always sitting in front of the plexiglass. I even got my picture taken with the tiger at the Fort Worth Zoo. (That zoo is the best.) With tigers you’re never disappointed.

      When I was a kid we had a membership to the Fort Worth Zoo. The tiger was great, but I always liked the monkey house, it was like walking into a whole ‘nother world. The Aviary was also great, although the sign that said “Raptors” may have influenced me there.

    I was disappointed at my most recent zoo outing, which was a few years ago. The African hunting dogs had gone insane and were impatiently pacing the exhibit.

    Best one was visiting the Asheville Zoo in NC, which has very large ‘natural’ enclosures for most of its animals. Watching the rhinos we noted an addition to the exhibit: A rather large overfed house cat. The cat just walked right by the rhinos, who apparently was well acquainted with their visitor and paid it no mind.

    At the Cincinnati Zoo in Ohio, the best exhibit ended up being the elephants. They attempted to procreate in front of many embarrassed adults and many interested children.

    It was like… watching a tanker with a hose trying to climb on top of an iceberg.

    Whenever there is a scene with a zoo, I think of Harry Potter. Call me nerdy.

    the one thing i learned from zoos is that i am amazed there arn’t billions of turtles around all the time. they were ALWAYS trying to procreate! the kids thought they were all wrestling. they make the most horrendous sounds too.
