I am just now getting around to looking at these.

Great pictures! I want to go to the zoo.

Were you the goat?

I think that’s a mandrill, which is basically a baboon without a tail.

Or, uh, since I can’t see its butt, maybe it’s a baboon.

Some amusing zoo anecdotes — in the petting zoo area there was a goat who I guess was having a bad day — he kept going around to all the other goats, rearing up on his hind legs, and then bapping them with his head. He did it over and over again and eventually the other goats got tired of it and started turning around when he got near to them. Eventually he gave up on the head-banging game and jumped up onto a barrel and started bleating. It was cute.

My meeting yesterday afternoon was precisely analagous to this.
