Zoo Trip!

Today, me and my friends were able to go to the Oakland Zoo! Boy, have I missed going...it was tons of fun going and drawing the animals, but I think one of the highlights is hearing some of the funniest things a parent could say to their kids about how much they think they know about animals.

Here are some of the animal sketches.

Some drawings of Lilford Cranes, two Hamerkops on the top, and some drawings of meerkats...how that gesture of some kids ended up on this page is anyone's guess...

Next up are some bats! They're pretty cool to study up close and the way they climb around upside-down is fascinating to watch.

A couple of zebras and green monkeys that were fed some fruit during feeding time...those things they ate were almost as big as their heads!

I remember drawing these giraffes last year. Always liked how they sit down and when they drank water, they had to spread their front legs apart in order to get to the water. Oh yeah, and some random ducks that always seem to be in the section for some odd reason...

I love goats...except when they try to chew on your things...

PIGS!!! I was excited by these smelly beasts for some reason that escapes me...

Crocs...barely move when they're basking in the sun...or floating on the water's surface. It's really interesting to see how the water makes them look smaller than they really are on the surface, but when you look under the water...they are HUGE!

And the noisy stars of this year...those chimpanzees!

Well, that's all for today...
