Zoo

Had to go to the zoo today for my Animal Behavior project. I got there early and while I was waiting, some police came, apparently to investigate a missing persons report. The one who supposedly called them in was this butch-looking girl and she was saying something about her boyfriend was inside the zoo. Didn't really catch what was going on but she looked rather scruffy and talked really loud.. She looked like she was high too. The police asked to see her wallet and they discovered there was a few hundred dollars in there! She kept insisting that it was her's but she couldn't tell them where she got it from. After that my project partner arrived so don't know what happened. :P

We have to study the behavior of a group of animals for our project.. What they do, when they do it, what they do next.. That sort of thing. And also the social interactions with the other individuals of the group. Even before we went to the zoo my partner was half in love with chimpanzees. After we spent 3 hours wandering around making my feet hurt, she was fully in love with them. Chimpazees it is. I think they're ugly tho. :P

The design of the zoo is terrible.. So many off-shoots and deadends.. And the map is horrigible. I think we walked past the giraffes like 5 times. And no, it's not my lousy topography skills. The place is really a maze.

Well, the highlight of the day was this lioness that came all the way up to the glass to pose. The absolutely cute otters were a bonus.
