swinging from the rafters

I went to the Philadelphia Zoo today. And it was magical, as always. The best part? Sitting for a long while watching the baby orangutan Batu play. But I don't need to recount the experience in text, I HAVE VIDEO AND PICTURES!!! I know, you're just as excited as I am. 

here's a LINK if you prefer it that way 

other notable sights? this pile of tortoises --->

this delightful lemur. you know, just hanging out

this sassy peacock, strutting around, making sure we all appreciate just how brilliantly blue his neck plumage is. what a bitch. 

and these big, beautiful gorillas. the big poppa silver back was sitting in a bucket and one of the lovely ladies was apparently in the mood for a profile picture photo shoot. 

pretty good for a cell phone camera, eh?
