On Monday morning I started the "animal day" @ The
Woodland Park Zoo. The day was supposed to be sunny, but at 10:00 AM it was
overcast and drizzly. I parked a ways away from the entrance, because I didn't
have a clear picture of where the entrance was...now I know! And my first stop
was the exhibit of Humboldt Penguins. They are a small breed like the African
Penguins housed at the Maryland Zoo, but Humboldts are native to South America.
I was impressed by the size and design of their habitat. There were also a
couple of them who were especially good at posing.

As I was leaving I noticed a bronze sculpture of a little Fennec Fox posed inexplicably next to a whole in an old concrete wall... Odd, but also sweet. It seems impossible to visit any zoo without running in bronze sculptures of animals, too.
