Mmmm, lunch. One interesting tidbit - Zebras are very dangerous! They're the second most dangerous animals to be around for zookeepers. Apparently they're quite tempermental. I offered to feed them, but wasn't allowed.

Bald Eagle. I'll have to say, watching these birds scurry around the ground they really do look like scavengers.

There's a walk-in rainforest, complete with monkeys, birds, and many other critters. Unfortunately we didn't see the monkeys.

The orang-utan is loose! Call out the guards! Only kidding. They have several steel towers with ropes going between, and the orang-utans regularly climb the towers and take the ropes to different parts of the zoo.
