A Hippo Almost Shit On Me

The zoo was so much fun! They have finished the new african and rainforest setups and they are really well done. The hippos new area is really awesome. And we got to see them swim and walk around, and even spray shit at us. I think one of the hippos is sick, and when he shit, he wagged his tail back and forth, spraying shit eveywhere. All the people standing near us all took off running. It was quite amusing except for the awful stench. But it was really cool to see them out of the water. I have only ever seen them just sitting in the water, being boring. I think they have more elephants now too. There are four of them now. And they were really active as well. They were playing with each other, which involved pushing each other around, and poking one another. I think they should have named one of them Jo. She would get along perfect with them. *laugh* Even some of the tigers were up moving around.

The new buildings are really nice, but they make the rest of the park look worse. They didn't put the lions in the Africa section, so they are still outside behind the Africa exhibit. Their setup looked so pitiful after what we had just seen. Maybe they will eventually fix up the rest of the zoo.

It was so much fun yesterday. The temperature was just right, there were very few ppl because it was a weekday, and we got to see lots of the animals moving around. Oh yeah, and we also saw the snow leopard, which I had never seen before. It is always hiding.

And now back to the fun and excitment of the Salon...
