Day 3 Post 2

Because we were all awake so early, we were able to get our table at the Blu Jam Cafe without having to wait long. We left the L.A. city limits at around 10:30 in the morning, and we were fortunate enough to have the traffic gods working in our favor to shorten the drive to San Diego to about two hours. 

We arrived at the San Diego zoo around 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Despite being a vampire my lack of appreciation for any activity that forces me to spend time outdoors in direct sunlight, I did enjoy learning about the animals and how the zoo cares for them properly.




Who can't love this giant panda's face??

There's an entire building for the "Giant Panda Team" that is home to the panda biologist researchers! A Panda Cam is available for viewing away from the zoo, too.

This is an artic fox who calls San Diego home. It is quite ironic, if you ask me.

The artic fox's tail is called a brush. It is used to protect the fox's face from harsh, icy wind when need be.

The Tasmanian devil reminds me of a rat crossed with a chihuahua. Jacob and Dylan tell me the two aforementioned are the same thing, but I do disagree.
