Amazing day. We heard so many things about this zoo being poorly run, animals unhappy, etc. Kids really wanted to do something non-temple related, so we rented some bikes and off we went. We got to feed hippos, a jaguar, elephants, giraffes and a leopard! (We had just missed feeding the penguins by about 15 minutes!)
I did not use a zoom lens- we were this close! Sorry for all the hippo photos – I went a little crazy. I couldn’t choose which ones to post.

WOW! Can’t believe you can get that close!!
Kerri- the safety standards are a bit lax here. you just go for it and hope for the best! Woo-hoooo! Righteous! I rode side saddle on a lion yesterday. Just kidding. Love!
