Day at the zoo

Yesterday I experienced a little different of a day. I would have posted yesterday bust unfortunately I had gotten dehydrated and was feeling up to it. Anyways, I finally got to view the zoo through the eyes of the guest. I had finished work and my parents wanted to go to the zoo for the afternoon. It was a really interesting experience to be in the crowd and see how the keepers and people who work there try and reach out to the guest. They don't have keepers out all the time talking to the guest but they do have specific times where guest can go talk to keepers and see shows and learn about conservation and animals which I think is great. The fact that they put the effort out there to have shows specifically about conservation is awesome. They really want to make the effort to inform their guest.  My favorite part about the zoo is the primate section. The only way to actually see the primates is by boat. Each monkey exhibit is by island. All the monkey species live on a lake so they are not acrually in an inclosure. I love this, since the monkeys where never in the wild they do not know how to swim, which means they able to feel free and not closed up. If more zoos were to treat their animals like this, then animals would live longer, happier lives in these zoos and people would not feel as conflicted as they do.
