Well, we went to the zoo because we heard they had monkeys there, and who doesn't like seeing monkeys? We've also heard there are "wild" monkeys where we live, but we've never seen one. The only wild one we saw was this little guy down in the pictures. He was wild because he broke out of the cage! He had torn a rip in the window screenish wall which held him in his cage. All the other monkeys were screaming their heads off, probably jealous that he was free! But, the little monkey didn't know where to go, so he sat on top of the cage most the day. When we were leaving, I asked the woman at the desk if she knew there was a monkey on the loose. "Ya...da manager might try to catch him later..." she didn't seem very worried about getting him back in the cage, or the safety of visitors! This zoo was totally different than US zoos. There were about...700 lizards scampering around. Peacocks were just walking around on there own, chickens and roosters and their chicklets everywhere. The bat cave....well was a cave with bats. No, not behind glass, or in cages, it was just a dark cave with a door and bats in the room. Needless to say we didn't go in there!
The monkey escaped!

Cute pictures...looks like fun!!! ps...I was totally going to pick this background, it reminds me of Apple Blossom...I love it!!
that loose monkey sounds a little scary...as well as their "it's all good" attitude at the zoo!
Sounds like that zoo is a little more laid back than our Hogle Zoo. I think they'd have a heart attack if one of their creatures was on the lamb!
