Trip to the Phoenix Zoo 5-30-08

While Mom and Dad were here visiting we took the girls to the Zoo. Unfortunately for the animals it is not anywhere near as "progressive" as the zoos back home. We got a bit of a late start so by lunch time we were all baked... can't remember how hot it got...maybe 100. We walked half of the park, ate lunch, and then took the tram around the other half. It was fun seeing all of the animals. The best part of the entire zoo for me was the "Monkey House". You actually walk into their enclosure and walk amongst them. The only thing keeping them inside the monkey house is corrugated plastic which they can't climb. You could actually reach out and touch them if you were dumb enough to do so. The zoo guide told us that they have canine teeth and like to bite and touching was definitely a no-no! The little squirrel monkey in the tree in the picture below was one that we saw.
