Minnesota Zoo


Today was an AWESOME first day of the semester! At first I was thinking today was just gonna be a boring day of 2 extremely short classes of my Ecology class. In reality, the lecture was spent learing about birds. And best of all, we had a field trip today to the Minnesota Zoo! Most of you know I LOVE the zoo. It was even better knowing that I go to go there for free! Once the class met, we headed to the monorail for a free ride. It was kinda fun seeing all the animals in the snow. I don't normally go to the Zoo during winter. The Grizzley Coast exhibit is starting to look pretty cool too. I can't wait til it opens in June. After the monorail ride, we ventured through the Tropics Trail. Fish were being fed and the coral was being cleaned, so that was kinda fun to watch. There were baby otters playing with cat toys too (see picture). And of course, I can't forget the vocal gibbons. After that, we had the remaining hour to do whatever we wanted. I wandered the Minnesota Trail for a little bit before heading home. It just wouldn't be a zoo trip if I didn't see the coyotes.
