The three of us went to the Wild Animal Park today, and of course there were lots of questions about the animals. Most of them had to do with their names, as Makela wants to know "What him name?" or "What her name?" with almost everyone and everything we meet.
So today we asked the zookeeper for the names of the animals in the Petting Kraal, reintroducing ourselves to Bonnie the Barasingha (aka "Indian Swamp Deer"); Socks (can't say I remember what kind of ungulate he is); Winky the one-eyed Persian goitered gazelle (yes, I looked him up on the WAP web site to make sure I got it right -- you can too at http://www.sandiegozoo.org/kids/animal_gazelle_winky.html); and Pearl, an Eld's deer and the oldest resident of the Petting Kraal at 18 years (yes, I'm a dork and remembered this story).
We also rode the carousel three times and the new Safari Tour Ride (it's replaced the old tram ride around the WAP perimeter). That was about it for us, although we stopped at a DIFFERENT In-n-Out location for lunch on the way home. Of course Makela asked why we never go to that In-n-Out.
Which brings me to the Question of the Day. "Why are they called potstickers?" Or, as Makela calls these Asian favorites of hers, "HOTstickers."
