The Zoo

     Yesterday we got to go to the famous San Diego Zoo.  We only had time to see  some of the zoo, and dad got us back-stage passes.  We rode the gondola across the zoo to the polar bear area.  They were not doing anything, so we went to look at other things.  We got to see everything except tigers.  We even saw the only baby panda on exhibit in the whole world!  Then we went to the back stage thing.  We got to see a porcupine, a cheetah, a cloud leopard, a serval, a wolf, and even a baby sloth all on stage!  We got to take a picture with most of them too!  Then they let us feed (and pet) a juvenile rhinoceros!  He was very slobbery.  But my favorite thing was feeding flamingos!  We got a cup of soaked dog food and water.  Then we walked into the enclosure and sat down.  The flamingos came right up to us, put their heads in the cups, and filtered out the food.  It was extremely cool!
