Today I went to the National Aquarium in Baltimore. It was pretty much the same ol, but it was my first time seeing their Australia exhibit (the rock expansion).
Yes, there are some birds at the aquarium.
puff.
Keeper (in scuba gear) feeding a sea turtle.
I visited the Philadelphia Zoo a couple of weeks ago. Maybe I was too excited about it, but it ended up being kind of anticlimactic. I thought it was more carnival than zoo.. There were too many snack and face painting vendors and too little attention on the animals' enclosures. In fact, here is an example:
Not a great picture, but this red panda looked like it was sick or something. It could barely open its eyes, was unsteady while climbing, and had kind of a thinning tail. We were a little concerned..
These two tigers were playing with each other in the pool. Not a clear picture since it was shot through the wet glass, but it was pretty interesting.
On most days, I get increasingly frustrated the longer I stay at the zoo, but that's normal. The only days that are nice at the zoo are the cold and/or rainy days.
The reptile house is busy even on relatively slow days, so it was packed today. After about 5 minutes, I seriously wanted to punch every 3 to 10 year old that I saw. The entire hall was packed with these little annoying kids that ran around, screamed, and pounded their little grubby hands on every panel, window, and wall.
It would also be awesome to throw one of those little kids into the alligator pool outside the the building XD
Without looking at them closely, it's easy to forget just how strange alligators look. I mean, they look, ancient.
