Zoológico!

October 10, 2015

Rob and I went to the zoo in Cali.  He's a guy from England staying at the hostel too. (If we're being correct here, he's a bloke from England I guess)

We took this on the way out actually so that's why the lighting is weird

Here's some of our fabulous day in pictoral form.  Hopefully that's a word because I want to use it there.

Flamingos were the first thing we saw on the way in

This is a barranqero.  It's got the coolest tail, and was beautiful blue, both on it's tail and light blue on it's head.  Google it for some better photos.  Wait nevermind.  Just click here

The top bird sounded like a squeaky toy and vibrated when it made noise.  The bottom on has a mohawk.  Enough said.

This monkey laid down and used it's tail for a pillow about 3 seconds later. Very cute.

This one was fascinated by what was in my bag, so I showed him. Rob got a photo

Turtle riding a crocodile.  Yup.

And then I rode a turtle.

Meerkats! 

Rob became a beautiful butterfly along the way

They're like upside down bats!  Wait...

They had some beautiful tigers that were pretty active when we were there.

We decided these monkeys were like an 80s rock band with their hair

Lemurs, which never stopped hopping all around their island.

I got one mid-flight!

I've seen capybaras for real now.  They were so big!

Giant anteater for the first time too.

Also I became a turtle for the day.  Did I get a proper turtle face?

And that's your reward for getting all the way to the end.  I'm headed tomorrow to a coffee farm to work for a bit, so more adventures coming soon!
