Zolli

While Henriette cleaned our apartment, I mean flat, this morning, I went to the zoo. Baslers love their zoo, which they call "Zolli". One of the free morning papers occasionally has a "Zolli-Report". Yesterday's report was about the baby Himalayan Tahrs. It must be baby season because I saw lots of young animals. My favorites were a fuzzy black penguin baby and a couple young gorillas. I like the picture below of the Malayan Sun Bear even though he's not a baby. Here's another fun zoo fact for you: Flusspferd (literally, "river horse") means hippopotamus in German.
