ya know, i’ve been puzzled for days, thinking, “why does that baby giraffe seem so…familiar?” just realized, hand to god, he looks like george bush. kinda.

I *think* this is the video of the little tyke trying to stand up.

Ah, Berthaslave… I was fond of you before, but now it’s full-fledged love. I mean lof.

And seriously, Q? If you really want to help the language, you should be directing your efforts toward eradicating the rampant and egregious abuse of the once-noble apostrophe. It causes one to weep.

Back on topic: I can’t get over how weird giraffes are. It couldn’t be avoided, Ann-Eve, espesh as that’s gotta be a sizable axis.

I worked at the Toledo Zoo this summer as a Train Narrator and got to talk about this mama and baby almost everyday, I fell in love with her!

damn it! i missed cookie time!

*kicks sippy cup across the room*

Ann-Eve, you’re my hero. you *had* to do it. for all of us.

the frog exhibit is called frog town because Toledo’s original name was frog town. love that zoo, i miss it since i moved.

I don’t want anyone to be jealous, but last weekend, I actually snorgled a giraffe. Okay, so we were just supposed to be feeding them, and giving them the odd pet, but when the big bebeh leaned in far enough for me to access the axis of snorgling, I was helpless to do anything other than take advantage of the situation. It was a cheap, stolen snorgle, but a snorgle nonetheless.

Awesome pic! My hometown is Toledo, Ohio, but now I reside in Ft. Wort, Texas. I have made many, many, MANY visits to the Toledo Zoo (my family were members) and there are TONS of cute animals there. We had a baby hippo one year, named Bubbles, it was so cute!

If cute lovers are in northwest ohio, go to the Toledo Zoo – you won’t be disappointed!
