orangutan love.
cockroach love.
my sincere apologies to arachnophobes everywhere, of which i am one.
i had a hard time wrapping my brain around this one. magpies are my all time favorite birds. i see several of them every day. it was just strange to see them in a cage as if they were exotic or rare.
these guys were having a great time keeping us entertained.
there were two bears, both from washington state university. for while they were napping in the distance, but after awhile the reluctantly figured they aught to earn their keep, and come entertain the silly humans.

penguin love.
