We had a great time at this zoo. It was about $30 for the 4 of us to enjoy, and I thought it was well worth it. It is a well laid out and carefully maintained attraction.
- I can do without three things that the zoo had today: 1) the baby albino kangaroo; 2) The zookeeper holding it; 3) The other zookeeper next to her. When Saul went up to pet the animal, he went to stroke between it's ears, as you would expect an animal to like. Apparently, baby albino kangaroos only have 1.5 square inches of safe petable area. If you pet outside of that, Brunhilda the zookeeper will sufficiently scold you not to. Her sidekick next to her will join in as well, saying "how would you like it if 10,000 kids came through and petted you in the head???" Gee, lady, it's a pouched equivalent of a rodent. They sure make great burger though, I've tried it.

Well, that sounds annoying. They bring out an animal for close-up viewing and don't expect people, especially children, to try petting it? Need to either lay down the rules beforehand, or still keep a cage or low fence to allow close viewing but not contact. At another zoo, they brought out animals and carefully described how to pet it to each person.
ReplyDeleteStill, sounds like you enjoyed the rest of it, so that is good.
