Cameron & I met Jordan and her boyfriend Tom at the zoo yesterday afternoon. We all got there late... them because their teenagers & me because of those darn drawbridges. Anyway, it was a perfect day. Warm & Sunny. The place was so empty it was wonderful. We started out looking for the newest addition to the zoo... the Kangaroo's. We found them in a new area near the africa exhibit. I'd heard they were going to be just kind of out there... but maybe that's a future plan.
After the Kangaroos we wandered up towards the Elephants & Giraffes. They'd already been put in their enclosures because the zoo was closing in about 20 minutes by this point but we were able to get a close up view of the giraffes eating. It was interesting.
Check out that tongue.... !
As we were heading out, a lady told us there was a Bongo in labor up ahead. So we wandered over to check it out. Momma was clearly about ready to give birth. We stayed there until the little guy stood. Turns out we were the last family to leave - the zoo had been closed for 30 + minutes by then. I didn't realize all the other picture takers around me were zoo people. lol. Oh well. It was an experience like no other, and something my kids will probably never get to see again. Here's some pictures from first hoof out to standing on it's own. I tried to pick ones with less gore.
