what I learned at the zoo

[gsh]

Pandas, either in DC or in San Diego, tend to be sleeping when I try to watch them.

Polar bears eat carrots. And sweet pototoes. And a polar bear hold a carrot in his paws just like King holds a rawhide bone.

Hippos frolick extremely well considering their size. They also like to tease birds. I'm not sure what was more unexpected.

I think I may have been cured of kvetching about how the dogs destroy their toys when I heard that the lepard was given a bowling ball as a toy, and ate it.

I'll get very tired by the end of the day if I try to walk to all the sections.

Koala's look very cute sleeping, especially when there is a whole flock of them. Is flock the right word for a number of koala's?

Um. Wow. I don't want to picture that.

You must have bad panda karma. The last two times we have been to the National zoo the pandas have been wonderful. Rolling around playing and being goofy the first time and hanging out being very people like having breakfast in the morning the second time. Pandas look very human eating, like an old guy munching a hotdog.
