The Zoo! April 24, 2010
Posted by Marina in : Spring 2010 , trackback
People who know me best know that my favorite place in the entire world is the Zoo. So in preparation for my annual Baltimore Zoo trip in April, I went to Student Activities this week and bought my tickets for $9.50 – originally $16 for a weekend visit to the Zoo! As soon as they became available, I thought to myself, I must get these tickets before they are gone. And this morning, I took my tickets and went to the Zoo before the last Open House for the year. It was a sunshiney morning and all of the wonderful animals were out playing! Above is a picture of a prarie dog, my favorite animal of all time from the Zoo, alongside of the Elephants, of course. But they are just so cute and ever since I was little, they have always come out to greet me, even if it is for a second or two, I always see them! The thing I like most about the Baltimore Zoo is how relaxing it is. The walk around the Zoo is quiet and shaded, making it more like a park that contains exotic animals. It is never crowded and the food is good too. However, if you wanted to save money, they allow people to take in packed lunches so you don’t have to pay for their food. It is also located right of off 83 and is conviently only 20 or so minutes away. Needless to say, I loved my trip to the Zoo :]

Loved your blog about the zoo. Zoo trips can be so relaxing and such fun — so glad you went. We have lots and lots of prairie dogs here in the West, even what is referred to as “towns” of them! Wyoming also has another interesting animal you should look up: the black-footed ferret. This animal was thought to be extinct but was found here several years ago about 30 miles from Cody in a little place called Meeteetsee, WY. Since then, pairs have been captured and transplanted in other areas of WY as well as some other western states to start new colonies, and so far they are thriving.
