Morning at the Zoo

Kaiserslautern Zoo

Wednesday Colin and I went to playgroup which met at the Kaiserslautern Zoo. It's a small but pretty zoo with just enough to entertain the kids. They had the usual zoo animals like lions, zebras, a camel and monkeys. Then they had some not so exotic animals that I had to laugh about...things like a raccoon exhibit, pigeons and parakeets in the aviary, rabbits and guinea pigs. The kids didn't care though and Colin actually liked watching the raccoons come beg us for food. It was also nice because the animals were active and up when we were there. The lion was laying down resting and all of a sudden he got up, walked right up to the fance where we were all standing and started roaring and putting on a show. He walked the fence a bit, stretched and roared some more. By the time I thought to put the camera on video he was about done but I did get some of it taped. When he started roaring all the little kids got scared and ran to their moms crying. Not Colin, he laughed hysterically and got excited...I guess he's used to the loud noises from the dogs. LOL
