at the Zoo is a Spider Exhibition called Masters
of the Web. I'm not a raving fan of spiders but I do find
them interesting as long as they are behind glass. The exhibit was very crowded with kids, and very dark so I didn't get many pictures. This one's a type of tarantula - I think it's called a Hairy Tarantula. |

A couple of Colobus Monkeys sprawled lazily up in the trees, paying no attention to those of us who tried to get them to move and show off their beautiful tails. |

Another new exhibit is the Jaguar. I didn't know that jaguars lived alone, and that if they lived with another one, they'd probably kill each other. At least that's what the docent at the exhibit said. |

Roaming the
grounds was a rather bedraggled looking peacock. We wondered if
he had escaped from his pen. He certainly had no fear.
