Today, we went to Riverside Zoo in Scottsbluff,, Nebraska. First we saw the bobcat, a raccoon, giant swans, and some other animals,. Then we went to the petting zoo. Little Kid and I fed leaves to the goats and we saw a Llama.
Afterwards we saw the longhorns and a lynx. We also went inside and saw meerkats, a python, mice, and fish. When we came back outside, we went to look at the lions and tigers. At the lions, one lion lifted its tail and shot a squirt of pee in our direction. After recovering from the shock, we looked at some birds. We saw turkey vultures, and a red tailed hawk.
Then we went to the chimpanzees. They were making farting noises. One actually waggled its tongue at us! We were watching them when suddenly one threw a hunk of dirt in my face! It had surprisingly good aim. Later a keeper explained that Jack, the chimpanzee, did this to girls to get their reaction. I reacted by screaming and laughing!
At the end, Ma joked that going to zoo was worth it to see the chimp throw dirt at me!
Enjoy your time in Colorado. That’s where I grew up. The campground you are at is about 6 miles from my daughter’s house. Like that area.
Brooke says WOW you are so lucky to have traveled so far. Was the buffalo bigger than Billy goat? We will keep reading if you keep writing. Happy trails, see you next year!!!
