SATURDAY,
MAY 10, 2014
Mothers' Day was celebrated at Woodland Park Zoo with music, song and
dance, clowns, bouncy houses and castles, treats and fun. Most of the
animals came out to say hello too, which pleased me greatly.
I had a 'right spot at the right time' moment when the Zebras suddenly
began a round of Horseplay* directly in front of me. It was both awesome
and frightening. Some of the kicks and bites looked brutal.
| Horseplay*
Roughhousing, sometimes mock-wrestling, usually between
two boys of similar age. "Horseplay" at first glance
looks like actual fighting or wrestling until the more playful
"fooling around" element become visible, but horseplay
sometimes can deteriorate into real fighting |

Undoubtedly the
moment of the day was my first sighting of The King. Xerxes, the new 6
year-old lion was out on the Savanna, near his proposed mate Adia. He
is gorgeous with his thick, two-toned mane and regal stare. I'm in love.
