Como Zoo

What the heck is that big hairy orange thing?!

Today was Zach's first time at Como Zoo. Of course I forgot my camera (thank goodness for camera phones!), but we were there for his ONE YEAR photo session so we will have some nice photos eventually. We'll have to post those pictures later.

As for the zoo, Zach could've cared less... that is until we entered the primate exhibit.

I think the biggest problem was that the animals didn

't move fast enough to catch his attention. For the record, buffalo and napping lions are boring to an 11-month-old.

In the outdoor primate exhibit, we saw a nice Orangutan and her baby. She mostly sat there, but she did walk around a bit and gestured to the crowd, which made Zach laugh. When we went inside the exhibit, we came across Emperor Tamarins, which ended up being Zach's favorite. The funny looking little monkeys ran and jumped and walked right up to the glass. They were a lot of fun to watch and Zach liked being up close -- although he was pretty frustrated that he couldn't reach them through the glass!!
