Welcome To Madagascar!

in honor of the opening of 'madagascar 2' this weekend, katie and i went to the central park zoo after church today. i've never been there before so i was pretty excited. we wound up going at the perfect time because there was a sea lion show at 2:00. the trainers made them do all sorts of tricks. i'm pretty sure they're the fourth smartest animal on the planet. i think it goes us, then dolphins, then dogs, then sea lions. or maybe pigs. pigs are pretty smart too. but i have yet to see a pig salute me with it's flippers when i give it the sign. also at the zoo were red pandas. i think they might be my favorite animal. they are not related to pandas. they are not even bears. they look like raccoons but i'm not sure what family they belong to. all i know is that they are incredibly adorable and i wish i had brought my camera with me so i could take a picture of them. if you don't know what they look like you should google them because you will fall instantly in love. i promise.

you're right - they are adorable. i've always heard about the zoo at central park, but never gone. i haven't been to a zoo in years - i think i'll put it on my spring to-do list. want to go?
