I went to the zoo not too long ago, and I just fell in the with the otters and the walruses! They seemed to be really happy there, and loved to put on a show for all of us spectators. The walruses especially. They would actually stop and kiss at the window where the children were! Sooo cute! Normally I would have thought that the tigers or cheetahs would have been my favorite... but they didn't seem to like to be watched at all! I kinda felt bad for them because they were in captivity. What do you like to look at in the zoo?

I was talking to a guy that worked at the zoo, and he told me about the time when he was charged by a bull giraffe, the only thing that saved him was the electric fence...

I remember when they used to let us feed the giraffes at the zoo! not anymore though... maybe one attacked somebody.

Hmmm..I've never really looked at them up close. Maybe that's why there are always so many people crowded around to see them.

Tiger - A tiger at the zoo.
I know what you mean about feeling bad for them. The last time I went to the zoo I felt that way, especially for the orangutans. They looked so bored, not to mention sad. It made it very hard to look at them. However, with that being said, my favorite zoo animals are the big cats, particularly the tigers. It's always been this way for me. What can I say? I just find them so majestic! Happy mylotting!

Yes, I have seen some sad monkeys at the zoo...and you can have so much empathy for a monkey. The big cats just seem restless to me. I'd rather see them in pictures myself. Out in the wild where they belong. Sea lions and walruses though... I like to see them in person!

I always enjoyed seeing the chimpanzees at the zoo. They were just so imaginative to watch. you never knew what they might do next.

I like the cute animals, lol. I love koalas, pandas, kangaroos, meerkats, porcupines, otters and polar bears. I think I tend to like the fuzzy or playful mammals.

you are right, tiger is one of my favorite animals but it is not really attracting people to look at it. most of the tigers in the zoo are just lying down on the grass or yawning, i bored with that already. i like to watch penguins, my friend bring me watch it. she says they are cute when they walk or move, is like they are shaking their body every time they walk. we will laugh when looking at group of penguins walking around... they are cute.

OH! that reminds me of the polar bears. I love to watch those too... anything that swims really.
