Zoo

The Seifert Hobbins family went to the Zoo today. We stupidly came hungry so went spent the majority of our time there making our way to the restaurant on the opposite side of the zoo.


This is a Przewalski Horse.


Georgie was the only one smart enough to bring her own food.

She would like to share with you.

After satisfying our appetites, we headed for the farm animal section. We stared at this cow for a while, then petted a very friendly donkey. We also saw 6 goats, including 2 very cute Nigerian Pygmies.

Pretty soon Georgie started to get drowsy.

And then fell asleep.


Here are a couple of animal videos:


Here's meercats looking for a way out of their winter weather enclosure.


And here's an orangutan. They have a pretty neat set-up at the National Zoo for the orangutans. There is an outdoor habitat and an indoor habitat that are a ways apart. They are connected only by these telephone wire-looking towers, allowing the orangutans to brachiate between them. I've never actually seen them doing it though until today.
