Zoo Experience
The giraffe basked in the sunlight, one great gold spot shining on his back as he swept his tail across his back legs and stretched his neck up to devour the leaves; the zebra, striped, and woefully short, looked up in envy, and edged away.
The giraffe then bent down, the majestic head lowered to the lush grass, and began grazing, peacefully, like the others, and, like the zebra who had looked at him so enviously before, he was now eating grass.

We looked in through the windows, our noses pressed to the glass, ignoring the sign that clearly read "PLEASE STAY BEHIND RAILING" and ducking our heads up and under the wooden fence in front of the glass; some tapped on the glass and others remained staring through it; some zoomed in on the scene on digital cameras, while others merely installed the image firmly in their mind; it was indeed a beautiful sight, the animals walking about; some were excercising and showing off to the crowd; others were napping curled up in the few corners they had their privacy; and yet others were doing a mixture of both, seeming to close their eyes and fall asleep, suddenly to spring up again and begin showing off.
