Paul Simon said it and it was all happening this past Saturday at the Detroit Zoo. I was a small, whining child the last time I had been here. Now I'm a large, whining child but it was fun just the same. I was ready to do my version of the the lions and tigers and bears chant from the Wizard of Oz ("lions and tigers and bears, oh my!") but they were all taking naps in the shade when we visited them. The prairie dogs, penguins, and the seal/polar bear exhibit, however, made up for it. The head scratcher of the day was when a heavy set, hairy woman was commenting to her family how ugly the tapir was. While the tapir has a funky look (cool coat on it), I was ready to point at her and make the same comment.Trail Head
