We went to the Denver Zoo recently and saw a lot of cool animals. The weather was great and we got to see most of the park.

My Favorite Moments

1. Monkeys and Apes - These guys are always amazing to watch. I saw one moneky right next to the glass that caught a glimpse of a fly in the sunlight right next to his head. He darted his eyes around a couple of times trying to follow the fly when he tried to catch it with his bare hand. After a quick jab at the fly, he turned his clenched fist over and slowly opened his hand to see if he had caught the fly. There was no fly, but I realized just how similiar these guys are to humans in their mannerisms.
2. Seals - The first time we went by they weren’t even out, but on our way out of the reptile building we got to see them. Its just amazing how smoothly they glide through the water.
3. Leapords - The cats are always fun to watch. So laid back, but also so intimidating.
