A day at the zoo

There is an animal theme about this week, today we went to Bristol Zoo and I learned that flamingo's knees bend the other way around. They were knelt down the wrong way round (or right way around if you are a flamingo). We saw prairie dogs, rhinocerous iguana's fighting, giant tortoise (i really want one of the small variety), red panda, walked through the lemur enclosure, saw my favourite tree (monkey puzzle), saw ugly and beautiful fish, saw baby seals (I think they are call pups rather than sealets), penguins sat in the shade and watched the beauty of seals swimming. The girls seemed more interested in playing in the playground for an hour but it gave Aunty Amy and I a rest from dodging the push chairs. The zoo is a push chair magnet!
