I am downloading this video to make a dad happy--namely, the father of my sister-in-law's sweet girls and little boy. (It's out of order chronologically.) The kids walking across the bridge are wonderfully intrepid together, and the zoo itself is the best zoo I have ever experienced. There are no depressing, dreary cages--the zoo is landscaped beautifully, meandering over hills and around bends. The animals are healthy and seem happy in their lush, spacious habitats. Everything is clean and family-friendly and the tone of the place is most definitely one of respect to the world and environmental awarness.
My favorites include watching the elephants take their showers; listening to the proud, Hemingwayesque (ie., very full of himself) lion roar; watching the kids climb under a glass tunnel full of stingrays (the aquarium was too crowded this particular day for that); eating our picnic outside with a strutting peacock, and enjoying the polar bear, the penguins, the sea otters, and the sea lions romping about with their toys in the water (all in separate tanks, of course!) Martin even got to walk under the huge glass tunnel while the polar bear swam over his head, digging at the water with his immense paws. Fantastic!
