I could sit there and watch them for hours. I remember studying about them in my Sociology course years ago. They have quite the system of caring for each other...one we could learn from. :)Ginnie Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014434422568561157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3074509503476824621.post-23839003450948248072011-03-19T14:13:15.608-04:002011-03-19T14:13:15.608-04:00What a wonderful excursion - gorgeous photos, Marg...What a wonderful excursion - gorgeous photos, Margaret!Rosie Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15851804926095533117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3074509503476824621.post-91018509254969850732011-03-19T10:24:58.836-04:002011-03-19T10:24:58.836-04:00At least he doesn't want a pet gorilla!

I'm sure it isn't perfect, but better than a small enclosed area. Are there "safari" parks in the USA?Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00007201357693227614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3074509503476824621.post-29300730507370175522011-03-19T10:17:44.450-04:002011-03-19T10:17:44.450-04:00Nance, Angela & Izzy - :) Thank you.

I can't help but think their enclosures are small compared to the wild - but I know my son just soaks up all the books about animals and is learning a lot. I can't help but think it is due to the zoo we visit often.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00007201357693227614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3074509503476824621.post-88165866172375997012011-03-18T22:47:03.553-04:002011-03-18T22:47:03.553-04:00Oh, I hope all the animals are well-tended and hap...Oh, I hope all the animals are well-tended and happy. Zoos are definitely much more humane than circuses (in my opinion, anyway).TexWisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510099344729038541noreply@blogger.com
