In addition enjoying natural history museums, I've always loved zoos -- I grew up going to the
Lincoln Park Zoo a lot when I was a kid and
Cyn and I try to check out the zoos in most of the places we go to. (They were also helpful in getting a feel for live animals -- both large and small -- when I was writing
CHRONAL ENGINE).
So, when we were in Salt Lake City for
WIFYR last week, in addition to the
Natural History Museum of Utah and the
Museum of Ancient Life, Cyn and I checked out the
Hogle Zoo.
It hosts a very nice collection of animals in a clean, modern facility. Here are some pics:

| African elephant. |
 |
| Big kitties like to sleep in the shade |
 |
| So do little ones. |
 |
| Avian dinosaur of the spoonbill variety |
 |
| Armadillos. Not were-armadillos. |
 |
| More avian dinosaurs. |
 |
| Giraffes. |
 |
| Ostriches. They're bigger than you think. |
