End-of-year school field trip time is here already! I figured I would be the first one through the gates this morning but wrong! The grounds were already covered with waves of kids surging from exhibit to exhibit. I managed to take a few pictures anyway.

Western Lowland Gorilla
I'm waiting for those humans
To come and bring me food.
Oh dear,I am so hungry that
I'll have to eat this wood!.

Western Lowland Gorilla
They call me Poser cuz I like
To emulate The Thinker.
My wife however - she insists
On calling me The Stinker.

Hey check this out! I found a leaf.
Hmm - does it taste good?
I'd rather have some celery.
Hey keepers! Where's my food?

Lion
I thought I heard an animal
A-rustling through this grass.
But dang it's gone. It has escaped
My hungry mouth, alas!

I guess I'll take a load off
And sit here for a while.
It's tiring lugging all this fur
Around. It's quite a pile!

Hippos
Hey buddy, did ya see the birds
Who dive-bombed me last night?
I look like I've been white-washed!
It's not a pretty sight.
