Recap from the Zoo

Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my! Actually I we didn’t view any of these animals during our visit to the Lincoln Zoo and I was very disappointed by this. I had never been to the Lincoln zoo. I have visited the Omaha zoo and was very impressed by it, so when we went through an entire zoo without even seeing the king of the jungle I didn’t know what kind of place they were trying to run here in Lincoln. I think the animals were very excited to see us, as we were to see them. The adventure started off by seeing a reindeer. Now this was no Comet, Donner, or even Rudolph, but he was a very impressive beast. I was captured by the elegance and grace that he presented himself with as he roamed about his cage. After his display of grace and strength there was no doubt in my mind on how Santa delivers all the presents on one single night. The journey continued with a stop at the turtles’ pin. These two young, agile, frisky critters were having the time of their lives. Sparks were flying, hearts were being joined as one, and love was in there air. It felt honored that I could witness such a pure love. I was saddened to see that the baboons were having some marital problems this past weekend. We witnessed the true description of a marriage, the male was attempting to have a good time and the female wasn’t in the mood. The male became very angry at us for watching his actions so we left them at peace to try and work their conflict out. As we ventured on we visited the camels, wild birds, a jaguar, and many other exotic animals, but there was one animal that I never imaged they would have at the zoo, it blew my mind. We even have them here on our very own campus of Nebraska Wesleyan. Squirrels, yes the Lincoln zoo had a very rare breed of squirrels. They appeared to look very similar to the ones that are taking over our campus. After our trip to the zoo I contacted the zoo keeper and told him that some of his squirrels had escaped all over the city, I’m sure he will get right on recapturing these wild animals so we can all sleep at peace once again.
