All right...I will admit - I burned myself silly today but hey, it was a fun day at the Zoo! Most of all, not spending a dime adds to the extra fun! What can I say, I am cheap!
It is my Firm's annual summer picnic (free food, free entrance, free Zoomobile, free parking) and free sunshine for all employees and respective families!
Zebrina, the Zebra
Nice stripey costume [**Emilia thinking how she can have this design for her next Belly Dance costume...]
Apparently, this Ostrich is guarding an egg...but I cannot see it. Nice posing though. Ostrich must be thinking: "What do you humans want?"
Cheetahs looking at humans and wondering: "Aaaahh...Food...so close yet so far..."
Hippo here is really huuuuggggggee!
...well, so as the Elephants...but this one is still a baby.
...back to Mr. Hippo (or Mrs. Hippo - what do I know!) now cooling down after a gigantic meal of grass. Hippo is a herbivore, I heard.
Polar Bear is one of the main attractions at the Zoo!
Aaaahhh...refreshing...I am envious [*meanwhile, Emilia scratching her sunburned arm wishing she can dive into the water as well...]
...now, Bear showing off the diving skills...
Another interesting feature at the Zoo is the Waterside Show - a 30 minute interactive demonstration of tricks of featured animals.A hawk..
There is a story
behind this beautiful Serval Cat. According to the Zoo Keeper, the original owner, a Torontonian, tried to domesticate this Serval Cat but failed and left with no choice, the owner placed the cat to the care of the Toronto Humane Society, who, in turn, contacted the Toronto Zoo.
