We went to the zoo here in Brownsville.  Although not a real large zoo, it is suppose to be one of the best in the country.  Here is a baby chimpanzee.  He put a thin little twig and then could not make it work, so he found a stick that was stiff enough for him to hang from. 

This is a red-backed lemur.  We had hever seen one before.

This Mama Rhino weighs about 4000 pounds. One big girl.

There were four tortoises in the cage, but only three together.  These big boys are slow, but they were moving. 

The flamingoes were way more colorful than the picures shows.  Their necks could bend every which way.  They  had a very funny way of getting water and mostly stood on just one legs.  Kim could not copy them on that.
