Larry just thought he’d head down to the zoo for a nice walk. Lo’ and behold, their “most elaborate and ambitious” habitat, Monkey Trails and Forest Tails opened this week. We got to see the celebrites in their new homes. I say celebrites because we were sharing walkways with several TV cameras.
After that detour, we went to visit the polar bears and perhaps the most overlooked animals at the zoo: the great blue Turaco. This bird and others including brightly colored pheasants, “Blyth’s Tragopan”, are off behind the polar bears bordering the 163 freeway. These gregarious birds should be in a habitat with more “foot” traffic passing by.
