Zooropa

On a recent Saturday, Jonah and I decided to head over for a quick visit to the Little Rock Zoo. It was a pleasant afternoon, and many of the animals were out and about.

We saw most of the animals there - the lions, tigers, penguins, cheetahs and otters. At the Angolan Colobus exhibit, there was even a baby.

And we went by the elephants too...

And we ended the trip with a visit to the chimpanzees. This one was sitting high above the others, and had a contemplative look on its face. I wonder what it was thinking? Was it thinking of life beyond the zoo? Or maybe it was thinking how the human visitors are as caged and trapped as the other animals here, in their own way? Or maybe it saw the other chimpanzee nearby eating his own poop. We'll never know.
