Last night we took Samantha, Hannah, David and Yoyo to the Zoo. Arrived about 5:30pm and spent about 30mins playing on a jungle gym just outside the entrance. It was a great beginning to a fun evening.
Along the way, we met some miniature horses, and decided to get to know them a bit. There were 2 foals in the enclosure, and to our delight they were very friendly.
The highlight of the evening was the spotted leopard. He sat high upon a rock looking down on us. At first it looked like he was thinking, “Hmm, dinner time.” But then, as we walked away, he came down off his rock and started to follow David. He we totally focussed on David, which left us puzzled. Until David dropped his ball and the Leopard went after it. The Leopard wanted to play ball. So, we played with it for a while, but then decided that it was actually more of a form of torture than actually pleasing the poor leopard. Sean got some of it on video, including the ‘attack’ when he stepped a little too close to the fence and the leopard tried to bite him. I couldn’t get photos, cause it was already dark and flashes were not allowed.
