and I am getting my hairs cut on the 31 of this month.

Wow, that's really planning ahead!


Jaguars and leopards can be hard to tell apart, but leopards are from Africa and jaguars are from the Americas and easier for a small zoo in the US to get.  I saw a black jaguar and you could still see the pattern of the spots. 

I take it back...  that's a pretty big zoo.  Although no elephants...   I would have been bumming with Bubba.  Could watch them all day. 

I think they've really maximized their space. Louisiana exhibit is multi-level. No apes, no elephants, rhinos, or giraffes. They have lots of reptiles: snakes, turtles, crocs, gators, caimans. Lots of fish (we didn't see today). Lots of "native" birds, then parrots and raptors. There is a raccoon exhibit.


They have cougars, bobcats, tigers, African lions, and smaller servals, ocelots, etc. Regular zoo stuff.

The big cats don't require as much space as you'd think.  They did a study on tigers in India, fed them in the same spot regularly over many months.  They stopped ranging over their territories and stayed very close to the spot where the goats were delivered (poor goats).  Tigers were content to hang out as long as they weren't hungry.  Good for a smaller zoo.

Cats are lazy.

That's why! Cats don't like eye contact, and cat people tend to stare at cats. Non-cat people avoid eye contact, because in people that would be rude. But cats find it inviting.

cats are autistic. hahaa

Had a great couple of days with the kiddos, but this Nana is whupped. The youngest is going to spenD lots of time in the princpiles office I'm afraid, but that boy is definitely going to be the class clown. He had us almost rolling on the floor with his antics at dinner.

I bet, as a father figure probably not so much, but at least you can smile and laugh at some of the silly things he did (memories)

Awesome! They have Black Crowned Cranes, not Grey.

A lot of zoos belong to a network and if you are a member of one, your membership is valid at the others. Great if you are traveling.

I did, but it's always exhausting switching from taking care of my 30 year old baby to the grandkids. Least I can send the 30 yr old home when I'm too tired to deal with her.
