Back to the Zoo!

One year later, we were back at the zoo again! This time it was with our good friends the Cefalo's who will soon be grazing the majestic mining community of Elko, NV where Jake got a new job. We're stoked for them, but sad that they're leaving. Our visit started out a little disappointing because plastered all over SLC and around the zoo are pictures of the new baby elephant... and it wasn't even out! That's messed up, zoo man. Also, the entire bear section is closed and under construction and the zebras were AWOL! Don't worry, it got better though. We got to see the giraffes breeding... No lie. They were in the process of the furry mambo when we walked up. We, uh, moved along quickly to the other side of the building. The tigers were out and rocking the cat's paw, though. One was so close you could almost ride it. Jeremy loved every part of the zoo, especially the white wolf that looked like Ume. And FYI, the Nature's Nightmare part... not that impressive. The ugly vulture bird was cool beans and the fruit bats were neat because they were like right above you, but other than that, kind of disappointing. But we got a great view of the orangutans and the gorilla. That was cool. And to top it off, Jeremy got a new elephant hat. He's so cute in it. Overall, good day. But where's the freaking baby elephant! As Jeremy Jones would say, "I'm calling bull crap on it, dude. I'm not buying it."
