Seth and the Monkeys

So technically I have hundreds of pages of immunology and biochemistry I should be reading, studying, and memorizing--instead, I went to the zoo to see the animals. That's right, Lindsay, Seth, and I went to the zoo. I was feeling a bit guilty that I haven't been able to do much with them over the past month--a feeling I'm going to be very well acquainted with I think--so I took an afternoon off so we could check out some critters. I've heard that the San Diego zoo is supposed to be pretty great so we gave it a shot. Plus, we got some free passes from our friend Jane's sister-they expire in a few day's, so it was now or never.
It was definitely the best zoo I've been to (out of only three--San Francisco, Oakland, and now San Diego). In addition to the standard lions, tigers, and bears, I learned of the existence of a couple animals that had never been brought to my attention, such as the okapi and japanese serow. Good times!
My favorite exhibit was the orangutans. I liked this guy, who seemed to be nothing more than an orangutan suit crumpled up in the corner. I don't know, maybe that's what the zookeeper puts on when he wants to go out there and hang out with the monkeys. But then the furball started moving. Weirdest orangutan I ever saw.

Here are some more animal pics.

I still think Seth was the cutest monkey at the zoo. There are new pics of him at the top right. (Seth Pics).
