Went for a walk today at lunch at Brookfield Zoo. With temps over 70 degrees, the zoo was a popular place to be. There were lots of moms with not-yet-in-school kids, some retired folks, but not many animals, at least not outside in the viewing areas.
Not too many people wanted to go inside the animal buildings on such a beautiful day. The whole point of being at the zoo on such a day is to be outside, to welcome the coming spring. I am not a fan of hot weather, but being in the reasonable warmth of the sun felt good.
One thing I learned while at the zoo is that March 1 is National Pig Day. God bless the pig. He tastes so good with a little mustard between two slices of rye bread.
A lot of construction activity is going on at the zoo. They are building a new outdoor area named the Great Bear Wilderness, scheduled to open in 2010. On the display sign announcing the new area there are photos and silhouettes of wolves, bison, and some kind of elk, in addition to the bears. But why are those other animals pictured there? Are the bears going to eat them?
