Baby gorillas, hippos, and bears — oh my!
In honor of the San Francisco Zoo’s baby gorilla, I’d like to point you to a blog I found, while surfing around, that posts pictures of baby animals from zoos around the world:
Awww!
Who do you think is cuter — our own (still unnamed) baby gorilla or baby gorilla Dayo from the Artis Zoo in Amsterdam?
Remember, admission to the San Francisco Zoo is free, for city residents, on the first Wednesday of every month.
Also, coming up on Sunday, January 11, the zoo will be free for San Francisco families (adults must be accompanied by a child or children under 18). This is part of something called Family Appreciation Day, sponsored by the Mayor. It’s a huge event with free admission to 32 attractions, which I’ll be posting about in more detail later.
I love that website. The baby Polar and Koala bears and the baby hippo are adorable. Thanks for sharing it with us. And, our baby gorilla is cuter. Has she been named as yet?
Ms Terri here is a link to my SF blog where I wrote about you today. http://insanfrancisco.today.com/2008/12/22/free-activities-in-san-francisco/
Hi, Joda! Thanks so much for that awesome write-up! I urge everyone reading this to check out Joda’s blog, which has wonderful photographs and descriptions of many of the best things that SF has to offer. We have very similar tastes in what we like to do!
I don’t think that the baby gorilla has been named yet. Maybe the zoo will have a naming contest? I seem to remember them doing something like that before.
