Trip to the Zoo
August 8, 2007
We stopped at the Pittsburgh Zoo to visit the Polar Bear exhibit. We had to walk around the entire zoo to get there because they make you follow a one-way path. Most of the animals were napping in the heat of the afternoon. The lions were up on the top rock looking around. The Komodo dragon was getting a check up by about five staffers. The black bear cub was up looking for something good to eat while his mom slept. The elephants were moving their ears like butterfly wings trying to stay cool. We were pleased to see the two polar bears up on the rocks napping, better than pacing in front of their cage entrance. Otters were so cute swimming and diving. Sea lions were in murky green water; the new filtration system hasn’t kicked in yet. But our favorite sea lion played fetch with us. Will tosses his cap in front of the glass tank to Kathy and the sea lion swims across inside the tank.
The Pittsburgh Zoo is a natural habitat area committed to conserving wildlife and their habitats. They have research, breeding, education and conservation programs. They have more than twenty-nine threatened or endangered species. We give the zoo a ten for having the longest walk between seeing animals. Maybe they think we go to the zoo for a workout!
