Cherish here!
Everybody! I went to the Woodland Park Zoo today and some dinosaurs invaded and it was pretty crazy!
Ok. Just kidding. They were animatronic and didn't attack so much, but they were still pretty cool. Just a warning, this is going to have more photos than words I think. Anyway the dinosaurs were pretty cool but the exhibit was kind of small. Also, there was this sneaky half put together stegasaurus hidden in another section of the zoo with these controls and a sign saying you could test it out, but nothing worked. It just about broke my heart! And if that weren't enough, they had a dinosaur that looked very much like an ankylosaurus, which happens to be my favorite dinosaur. But it wasn't an ankylosaurus. It was a wannabe. A fake. A douche!
So that was pretty sad. I guess looking at it now it's obviously not an ankylosaurus, those are pretty clearly spikes instead of little balls of death and those colors are pretty ridiculous. It looks like a little kid put make up on its face. An ankylosaurus would never put up with that sort of behavior.
As you can clearly see the ankylosaurus is much more intimidating. And rad. And adorable too. Without silly little kid make up. Clearly. But the dinosaurs weren't the only cool thing there. I also learned a pretty cool little secret about myself. And I'm not talking parseltongue!
Not parseltongue, but close. So there was a komodo dragon hanging out on one side of the enclosure and I got in and it looked straight at me. I'm pretty sure we had some kind of telepathic connection because he never took his eyes off of me as he walked right over to the glass and stared at me. It was kind of creepy. He kept staring at me until I turned and he walked into his little pool. I'd never ever seen the komodo dragons move so much.
Elephants have always been my favorite animals to visit when I go to the zoo. I could spend hours just watching them, they're such beautiful animals. When we went there was one having a bath and it was adorable pressing itself against the fence so the handler scrubbed harder and picking up bits of food off the ground. Elephants are just fantastic animals.
We wandered the whole zoo of course and we saw a bunch of cool animals. They just got a new pack of wolves for their northern exhibit and they were really cute and social, they were chasing each other around, digging, and jumping into their water. I've hardly ever been able to catch a glimpse at them before. All the animals were much more active than usual.
I saw the lioness prowling, and the tigers napping. I saw porcupines climbing trees, penguins sharing an enclosure with a heron, and I pet snakes and hissing cockroaches. And guys, I think cockroaches are really cute, there's one named after me at the Pacific Science Center. It was pretty great.
Afterwards I was dragged to a soccer game for one of Riley's younger brothers and had to cower from the sun. I really wonder about soccer fans. How do any of the children playing the game know what to do with all of the parents on the sides shouting all these different orders? It's so loud!
Anyway. Now I'm watching tv and playing Call of Duty with Riley before we have some delicious Gardenburgers for dinner! A nice relaxing night after a long day. Have a nice night, readers. I will!
Cherish out!
