Zoologico Villa Dolores


Yesterday morning we went to the zoo. Admission was cheap for adults-- 20 pesos (less than $1)-- and free for kids. It was pretty quiet on a school day during the winter, although it was a beautiful morning.

The zoo has a good selection of animals. We enjoyed watching a little monkey trying to smash an orange against a barrel to break through the peel. A huge hippo was sprawled out sunbathing. The giraffes were rubbing necks over the top of their enclosures. The lions were sleeping, which seems to be their default mode everywhere.

    We love going to our local zoo as well. And I agree asleep does seem to be the Universal Lion default mode.
