visiting the zoo

Last Friday we spent the day at the zoo. We were very impressed. It had a very logical setup. There was one main road, and the exhibits branched off the side, which made it so you didn't have to worry about what order you were seeing everything since you could just follow the main road all they way through the zoo. It was also split up into a North America side and an Africa side. The San Diego zoo may have a lot more things to see, but the couple of times I've been there I felt like it was hard to know where to go because there were just things all over, so it was nice that the NC zoo is so organized. Several of the exhibits had fun signs to warn kids and parents not to get too close or climb the railings, which RT posted about here. He also posted about pothos ivy, which we saw at the zoo and also have in our apartment, here.

Here are some of the animals we saw:

 Cougars

Alligators

Quail

Flamingos

Giraffes

Elephants
