More of the Zoo

These birds were so cool. I've never seen them there before.
They were such a pretty pink and their bills were hillarious.

Look at that slobber!

This is how close they were - see his tail?

I love my camera - no way would I have gotten this picture with my old camera. The bats were SO fast flying in to get a quick drink and immediately moving on. They never sat still, except when they were hanging upside down.

Look at all those lily pads?!?

The baby camel was just born in April.
Her name is Miley, which Ellie loved, of course.
When baby camels are born, their humps lay over almost flat. As they grown and have more fat, the fat is stored in the hump, which is what makes it stand up. Didn't know that. Miley has 2 humps, but only one of them is standing as of now.
We have a book that says that a one hump camel makes a one hump poop. A two hump camel makes a two hump poop. Wonder if it's true?!?

The peacocks (or as Ava says, "peapock") were so pretty - but they are WAY too comfortable with people!! They wouldn't leave us alone! I learned something else, too - they shed their long feathers in late summer or early fall and grow new ones in the spring!
