We're going to the zoo!

Speckled Caimans

Today we are headed to the St. Louis Zoo! A lot of people do not know that this zoo is one of the best in the country. Not only do they have amazing award-winning exhibits, they also play an important part in captive breeding programs for conservation. ***They also have an AMAZING reptile house!!! One of the largest in the country. I cannot wait. I promise to post more pics tonight!

A monkey's uncle!

,

I'm an uncle! This is my new niece named Kendal! This experience reminded me of another one...hmm..

This is me holding Li Bao, Zoo Boise's baby Gibbon! What a beauty. It's so amazing how "human-like" these primates are. When I was holding Kendal all I could think about was how much it reminded me of interacting with Li Bao. They both are very timid towards strangers, are bottle fed, and wear diapers!

FYI: Li Boa is an ape NOT a  monkey. An easy way to tell the difference is monkey's have tails and apes do not.

Happy Sunday

Happy Sunday everyone!

We arrived in St. Louis yesterday at around 5:27pm. I owe a lot of thanks to "Alicia" my GPS who guided us the whole way. I have been to St. Louis before so I knew what to expect. Let me tell you...It is strange being in a place like San Francisco then only days later being here. Different everything. As for wildlife, on our way into the city we saw A LOT of wild turkeys. That was a first. It reminded me of my pet turkey back home named "Tina." A lot people do not know that I have a pet turkey (FYI: makes for a great conversation piece)! I received her for my 18th birthday. She has a very timid personality but believe it or not, she is actually trained to head back into her pen by the sound of my clap! Gotta love it!
