Today at the zoo

[nycmermaid]

Today was a beautiful day, and a great day to be at the zoo. Next week is our "graduation"! After that I'll be a full-fledged volunteer zoo guide.

The polar bear exhibit has windows so you can see the bear when it's in the water. Gus was up in the window today. It's spectacular to be walking along in the zoo and see a polar bear straight in your line of sight.









Here are some pics that I took of the snow monkeys a couple weeks ago. The baby's name is Zeppelin, and his mom is Inez. The zoo keeps the snow monkeys on birth control to control their breeding, but he was a surprise!





And one of the red pandas...
