AWESOME JOB GREAT SHOOTING
If I had to spend all day watching just one zoo resident this would be the one. They are as close to people as can possible happen.
Used to be one in the DC ZOO & it was able to reach the TV outside it's enclosure . Would change the channels according to it's program likes & dislikes.
Half expected to talk to us one day as we took the kids as often as possible.
