Gladys Porter: our favorite zoo

Our first trip to the zoo each fall is exciting .. There are new babies and sometimes even a new creature to view. The one this year is the Komoto Dragon.. Now this is an awesome looking lizard. Weighing around 200 pounds, he watches every move you make. Being so close to him is scary, He watched every move I made and even came closer. I backed up..So glad the glass was between us.



Last year a new Orangutan was born. The mother is 18 years old and only has one arm. She is a good mother and the baby is thriving.


Here is CJ the camel that nuzzled Connie's hair in the "Small World" petting nursery last spring. CJ is back with the adults now. I wonder if she is still friendly??
It seems everyone at the zoo today was watching us as much as we were watching them.


Next come the best time of all, trying to guess which gorilla is going to come and greet us...
