I love the zoo

I made my first visit of 2005 to the Basel Zoo today. This time I bought an annual pass which is a really good deal if you plan to visit the zoo at least 6 times in a year. One of the nicest things about the zoo is that I can walk to it from our house. Today I got to see the baby rhino (Nashorn in German) named Baabuu. He was born on November 4. You may remember that I visited another baby rhino last fall as well. Her name is Batschii and she was born in September. That's right, the Basel zoo has two baby rhinos! Next time I go I need to plan to be there at 11:00 AM. Supposedly throughout the winter the penguins go for a walk through the zoo at 11:00 each day. I think I'll need to see it to believe it.
