Zoooooooooooooo!!!!!

Danny, Ginny and I spent an afternoon at The Prospect Park Zoo a few weeks ago.

It was rad.  What a great little zoo.  I live less than a twenty minute walk away, and I had never been before.  That was foolish!  Foolish, I tell you!  For many reasons, the main one being- dingoes.  OMG DINGOES.  They are maybe the cutest animals in ever.  The most adorable creatures that have ever existed.  Their pleasant smiles, playful attitudes, and ability to interact with the viewers on the other side of the fence made them incredibly fun to watch, while the knowledge that they are actually ruthless killers increased the intrigue. 

When I'm reincarnated, I would like to come back as a dingo.  I'd consider that an achievement of epic proportions.

The other animals were cool too.  There was a sea lion show, and this thing where you could pop up like a ground hog.  Also, the nocturnal animals were very entertaining, but the room was so dark that there was no way I could photograph it.

Enjoy these pictures of aminals including this one of a SUPER HAPPY DINGO.

Otter Frolic

Remember how I said that I was utterly fascinted by the sea lions at Sea World?  And how I thought that I would be fascinated  by the otters, not the sea lions?  Well, let me clarify that this does not mean that I wasn't fascinated by the otters.  They were delightfully charming!  So little, cute and furry.  We were watching one play in the pool of water, and I took this photograph without realizing that the other one was even there- it was just a quick shot with the camera reflecting so much sunlight that I couldn't see the screen, and was too lazy to actually use the viewfinder.  Unfortunately, we didn't get to stare at them, and watch them frolic too long, because their habitat was being cleaned, and they were moved.  But, they were fun while it lasted!
