A Day At The Zoo
Today Bunny and I headed off to the Palm Beach Zoo at Dreher Park [1]. Going
to the zoo was something Bunny has wanted to do for quite some time, and the
Palm Beach Zoo was a bit closer than the Miami Metro Zoo [2].
[Very lifelike, and without a hint of plastic] [3]

We were both underwhelmed.
It was smaller than I expected, and some of the animals [5] (especially the
very rare and highly dangerous Procyon lotor elucus [6] or the Jackie
Masonesque Myrmecophaga tridactyla [7]) were obviously stressed, pacing back
and forth within their enclosures. Quite sad.
Bunny did, however, find the young feral Homo sapiens exhibit near the
entrance to the park amusing, what with the screaming and banging on
inflatable bongo drums.
