just hanging out...

[meriones]

First weekend of summer hours at the zoo today. Not too busy in spite of the awesome weather and special Mother's Day events. Spent most of my day scheduled in D-Bay (and working a coral reef show for the first time in two years) but luckily that was broken up mid afternoon with a hour outside. Well, I ended up making it one and a half hours by taking the second half of my lunch break to check out the one o'clock bird show. Usually they don't start until Memorial Day so yay early bird shows!


Plus the volunteer for Floyd was right across the aisle and a couple rows down from me. :)

Taijah the baby dolphin has started mimicking her parent's behaviors. Between training sessions she attempted Semo's sideways fast swim along the front windows and actually managed to make a little wave go over the side! I was very impressed.

Fun Fact - the farm now has a new rabbit named Cooper. He is housed right next to the rabbit named Alice. That's a "Pink" Floyd level of joke right thurr! XD

Oh and a got a sneak peak of the new indoor theater. Everything is so shiny and modern looking now! And I love the new flat screen panels embed into the hallways throughout the zoo that include not only the daily events but the current weather conditions. Nifty!
