I Made It To The Zoo

I did it.  I made it to the zoo.  After all that time and desire (I know it was only about a week since I decided that I wanted to go) I got to see the animals.  I could have spent all day watching the polar bear, seals, and sea lions swim.  I could have spent hours leaning over the rail watching the tiger pace around his cage.  I could even have stood around in the cold to watch the baby orangutans sleeping all wrapped up in their blankets.  As much as I am not a big fan of seeing animals in small living spaces when they could be out roaming the wild, I do love that I have the ability to view these animals that I would not have the opportunity to view because they are not native to where I live.  I have to admit that it would be a little disconcerting to see a lion, elephant, or rhino walking free around my town.
