Two of the seals were playing and having a blast, Gus the baby chimp was as cute as a pie, and the bobcat was up close and seeking attention for the first time ever.
The giraffes were particularly alert and very focused on a small enclave in the tall rock formations in their field. We enjoyed watching them move - they are in some ways horse-like and one actually arched its neck and did a little canter.
The lions posed.
Artie the elephant was separated from the other elephants (not the norm) and was weaving and vocalizing. I called the zoo operator and asked if a keeper could check on him.
Our zoo does a good job with habitats for the most part. I didn't take a single photo but I enjoyed the outing and observing.
Tomorrow it's back to horses and donkeys.

Sounds like a great day. I love giraffes! Hope the elephant was okay.
Arlene, the interesting thing was the elephant looked SO much like a horse upset because of being separated from the herd. Weaving just like a horse in a stall might and pacing up and down along the fence line. It was so sad to see. I hope it was either an accidental thing or a short-term one.
I'm going to follow up with the zoo to see what was going on.
