I should
change my name to Ang Btfsplk in honor of Joe, the little
character in the old L'il Abner comic strip. He had a perpetual
rain cloud floating over his head.
Yes, it poured again today, darn it. Ah
well, I grabbed my rain gear and headed off to the Zoo anyway.
I didn't have much luck viewing the animals - they sensibly
hid inside their lairs. So I spent a while at the indoor
exhibits.
Here are a few pics. And now I am starting work on The Ark.

The
Matschies Tree Kangaroos were quite active (for a change). |
|
The
took turns watching each other clamber around. |
|
A
couple of Chuckwallas dozed in their display. |
|
In
the same display was a pile of colorful Gila Monsters |
|
Here's
a picture of the two of them co-existing. |
|
A
little further along, a Giant Iguana eyed me suspiciously. |
|
Here's
a Yellow-spotted Side-necked Turtle, staring at me too. |
|
One
of a pair of Komodo Dragons, this guy didn't blink for ages. |
|
His
pal allowed me to get quite close to take this picture. |
|
And
finally a Corn Snake (one of several snake pics I took today).
