Zoo pics from a different zoo
Since I'm sure you're all going through withdrawal because of the lack of zoo pics (blame my new work schedule. Boo.) here's some!
So, I made it to the National Zoo right about 10am this morning, 'cause, ya know, I had my heart set on seeing one of these, my favoritest animal in the whole wide world:
These are Przewalski's horses. The Wild Animal Park has some, but they're not on the tour bus route anymore so they're very hard to see. The NZ ones obviously aren't. The WAP people said these are particularly nasty critters. Mean. They bite.
Everybody go "Awwww!" Here's a little rock cavy hanging out in the Small Mammal house.
And what could be better than a giant beetle? A giant beetle made of lots of little beetles! There was a big beetle on the wall, but this is a close-up. Nifty, huh?
In the Amazonia building, they had aquariums, which included this ginormous fish.
But, I'd have to say this nifty iguana is my pic o' the day.

The beetle made of beetles is awesome. Puts one in mind of that famous and perhaps apocryphal quip of Haldane's about god's inordinate fondness for beetles. They are amazingly beautiful, aren't they?
