We went to the Toledo Zoo last week. Jaxson's favorite animals to see were the gorillas, shark and giant crabs. And he just said "My favoritist thing was the river monster!" If you watch River Monsters on the Discovery Channel, they were searching for an arapaima fish in the Amazon. They are huge and we just watched that episode before going to the zoo and the kids were going crazy seeing the arapaima at the zoo. That's the fish in the picture above. They were telling anything within ear shot at the zoo about the "river monster!" Carter's favorite thing was seeing some baby monkeys with their Mommy and some apes playing with a blanket over their head. Carter just said that she also liked seeing the river monster and couldn't believe that they caught one because they are so rare. Really, you need to watch River Monsters to appreciate this story. :) My favorite is always the hippos. Unfortunately, we only saw one hippo this time and she was eating inside the building, so we only got to watch her eat through the window. Last time, she did a great hippo yawn that I captured on camera, swam around and gave a good show. I was hoping for a new photo. Better luck next time!
