I like this because I've never seen a zebra run. The little fella was actually playing!!! It was a hoot.

I told this guy an elephant joke.



Q: What does a bald elephant wear for a toupee?

A: A sheep.

Singapore's zoo was the last zoo I ever visited.  I went with the old lady before we were married.

Not quite Melbourne. That's Werribee. We have three animal enclosures in this state. Werribee deals with mostly African animals.

Very nice pics Brick.



There is the Mill Mountain Zoo here, which is rather small. Then there is the zoo at Natural Bridge up the road, which is bigger, plus they have a Safari Park. I think the best zoo I've been to was the one in Seattle. My brother use to live across the street from it, and we went last time I was there.
