Mom and I went to the zoo today and we had a blast. There was a black leopard that kept following me back and forth across it's cage. It was really kind of creepy. I got video of it following me and if I can find out how, I'll put up video here, but right now I've no idea how to do so. So Mom and I stayed there, watching it watch me for almost an hour (not an hour straight, but 40 minutes, then we went away and came back. 30 minutes then went to get Dad. 10 minutes, then we went home). It was just so weird. I asked a keeper near the small mammal house and she said it targeted me and really did think I'd make a good meal. It was really creepy. We also went to the small mammal/reptile house and watched two bats duke it out for a prime hanging spot. In the gift shop I got a thick pencil, which will be perfect for faire, I just need to wrap the top part where it has the zoo name so that it won't seem so odd. I also got a stuffed animal of a giraffe! I've been wanting one for about two years. It has a cute face and poseable legs and it was less than $20! I was ecstatic. The other times I've been in the gift shop, the smaller one that I wanted was $40+. There was no way I was getting it then. But now I have a giraffe and I'm especially happy since it was the last one of its kind. All the rest had folded under legs and flopped over quite pathetically. I feel like a kid. So life's good.
