Bronx Zoo

The Bronx Zoo is enormous.  After visiting this zoo I read that (area wise) it is the largest zoo in the U.S.  It is so big that after we entered the gates we walked a good seven or eight minutes before we saw an exhibit.  I honestly thought that we were lost and walking down a service road.  We weren't- there's just a lot of space between exhibits.  This zoo didn't necessarily have more animals than others we have been to, but it did have different animals than we've seen at other zoos.  Of course all the "usual" animals were present, but there were also polar bears, hyenas, African wild dogs, and geladas.  We spent the majority of one day at the zoo.  Before leaving, we saw an area where they were doing camel rides.  I kids were begging to do this, and I have always wanted to do it- so we did.  And it was a lot of fun.


So, this is my last New York post (believe it or not).  We had a lot of fun.  Considering how close New York is to Brian's dad's house, I'm sure we'll be back.  There's something to look forward to.
