HANKS ROOTBEER

So, I went to the San Diego Zoo yesterday. As soon as I got in the gate, I made a bee-line for the "reptile house." 8P They had a freaking KOMODO DRAGON there! I totally jizzed myself looking at it, it was so amazing. </exaggeration> Then several tanks down they had a 2-headed California King Snake. Wasn't as exciting as the komodo dragon, 'cause it hardly moved, and I couldn't see the two heads very well. :[ Still, 2 heads!! x3
There was a shit ton of birds there, too. o3o They had a pen with probably 25 flamingos in it. There was an aviary full of humming birds, which was cool. THEY'RE SO SMALL. In another aviary there was a little black bird that was giving me a "go away, dis ish mah bowl of maggots" look. And ducks; there were a ton of ducks there. OF pretty my EVERY FREAKING KIND. There were, like, 15 different kinds of duck. Some were very pretty, some were blah. Some dived under the water and swam like otters. I got several good pictures, which I'll mass-upload to Mediafire for any who wanna see.
There was a polar bear, basking on some rocks. It, along with the komodo dragon, actually inspired a new critter to go on eastlasoruna. =P
There was a set of refrigerators near the polar bear pen that compared how much the average human ate, and how much a polar bear ate in one meal. There were four different plates in the human fridge, with plenty of room for more. The polar bears fridge was jammed full of meat (plastic, of course; it's an exhibit), with all the shelved taken out, and it was squishing up against the top of the fridge. It said that the bear could eat 140 pounds of meat in one meal. I was like, "Oh shit, that's about 45 pounds off from how much I weigh!" And I chuckled and imagined getting eaten by a polar bear. Not really my kind of predator, but that komodo dragon... mmm...
ANYWHO... Monkeys. There were monkeys. This adolescent gorilla has fun teasing the photographers by turning his back to us, then suddenly looking around with the Zoolander face on. Other than that, not much excitement with monkeys.
There was a peacock walking around near the Condor cage. Walking around, like, on the paths that people were on. Not in a pen. There was a small crowd (maybe 10 people) gathered around it, taking pictures. I joined in and took a few photos. It probably got scared by all the people so close, 'cause it flared out it's tail and started making squawking noises. While everyone was preoccupied with the pretty front of the feathers, I snuck around back and got a look at the fluffy feathers in back, as well as some birdy cloaca. I'm such a perv. xD I didn't get any pics back there, though.
By then my feet were killing me, so my parents and I decided to take a quick peak at the wallabies, then leave.
