A perfect warm, sunny Seattle day to visit Woodland Park Zoo! I have been bringing my girls here for the past 25 years, and not one time has it disappointed.  Is it possible to have a favorite animal, species? I don't think so, but I do think there can be a few that you love a bit more than others! I absolutely adore giraffes...they are outstanding in every way. Did you know that after a giraffe gives birth to their calf standing, the calf comes out feet and head first like superman, walks and eats within 2 hours, and the BEST part...all the mums take turn babysitting all the calves so the other mums can take a break!! So very cool! Not to mention their long sticky purple tongue to hold onto those leaves as they strip a branch. I also adore gorillas, orangutans, anything with a pocket to store a baby, birds that land on ya to eat from your seed covered stick, and on and on! What animal do you adore?

The girls arrived full of energy and spunk, and left with tired legs and a ton of stories to tell!
