A Winter Trip to the Zoo

You know I had no idea zoos remained opened in the winter? I just assumed all the animals (yes, even the polar bears, penguins, and seals) were tucked in for a three-month-long nap and the whole thing shut down until spring came back around. Silly me.

When I learned that the Bronx Zoo was in fact open year round, I breathed a sigh of relief because I'd be able to shoot my Z and spend a sunny Sunday afternoon walking through Madagascar, a Congo forest, the African plains, and an Asian jungle - all in three hours.
