First Visit To The Oregon Zoo

March 20, 2011

The otters were great. Real crowdpleasers. Funny little guys. So wet.

This little mandrill was eyeballing us real hard. With that look that sorta said, "If it wasn't for the fence, barrier, electric zapper unit and two-inch bulletproof glass between us, I'd rip you fucks to shreds."

In tribute to this polar bear, I toned the photo "extra blue," to make it feel as cold as possible. It was 52 degrees out today and I felt bad for the thing. Her fur was looking ragged and stuff. And possibly in an act of defiance, she bear lumbered over and took a big piss for all the little kids to see.

DID A QUICK GOOGLE ON THE MATTER: There's really no excuse for a shitty zoo logo. I'm sure some of these turkeys could come up with some. Shameful. Missed opportunities.
