Everything's Happening at the Zoo

I don't like the zoo much. There is never enough space for the animals and the climate never seems to suit them and aren't they always just lying there on the ground looking like demoralized and exhausted lumps of fur?




Now for the part that shows my true colors: I don't seem to mind the inhumanity as much when the zoo provides super-fun surry bicycles to pedal around on. Suddenly the zoo seems like a magical place with happy animals and laughing children.

We went to the Miami Metrozoo on Saturday and it was the best experience at a zoo I have ever had. There was a little water park for Ally to cool off in, aforementioned super-fun surry bikes, and a cool tropical breeze ruffling the lustrous fur of the lions and tigers.

Now, if they would just give the mountain deer as much space as the lions. Don't they deserve it?
