Day at the zoo

Jeff has the day off this Memorial Day.
We went to the Lincoln Park Zoo. (Entrance is free!)

Swimming Polar Bear. He was doing laps. He would go round and round and push off with his legs on the wall, just like in the Olympics. We learned he can swim 6 miles/hr.


Gorillas were taking a nap. They like to cuddle when they nap, most were paired off in 2's.




Look!
Leopard on my hand!!


These are really rare HUMANS!!


We got to touch a snake at a reptile building.
She is holding the snake! Always rub head to tail, just like a dog. And never touch the head.


It was so fun!
Jeff was wearing a HIROSHIMA CARP (baseball team) uniform.
He looks Japanese more than me, ha?

Addendum: I've discovered Keiko really likes tigers, they seem to be her favorite animal. All they did was sleep, but we caught feeding time at the primate house which is always the most fun in my opinion.
