Mutual Weirdness

My local zoo has recently built a new elephant habitat which has now been populated with 6 new elephants bringing their total up to 7. The exhibit isn't open to the public until the end of the month but at the end of last week the members got a sneak peak. I just happen to be a member. So here are a few wonderful pictures!

Here in Wichita we have one of the top 25 Zoo's in the country. Not sure exactly where it ranks but it is a wonderful zoo. If you are ever in Kansas you should check it out. Last weekend and this weekend we were able to get into the zoo at a huge discount so we were able to actually go and have a nice walk around. Normally it is too expensive for us because well, we're poor, so I was really happy to get to go. I'm a bit like a kid in a candy shop and I love to take pictures of the animals.
