A day at the zoo




We enjoyed a rare rain-free day to take a trip to the Sao Paulo Zoo. We got to see a few animals we had never seen before, and plenty of the zoo favorites.
There were plenty of monkeys to be seen at this zoo. One really great idea they had was to put the monkeys on little islands in the lake. I don't know if monkeys are unable to swim or what, but they stay there uncaged in these little "monkey condos." They are free to go wherever they want... if they are willing to do a little swimming.

The highlight of the day was the huge lizard we encountered on a path. We're not sure if this was a zoo escapee, or just a native lizard who liked hanging around the zoo. Anyway, Kilah tried to get close to it until a little kid charged after it, making the lizard run for cover.
