My Metro Zoo Experience

Yesterday was so..much fun! My friend Steffani and I ventured out to Miami's Metro Zoo for a picnic and nice trip to the zoo to study animal behavior and human-interaction with animals. Didn't even need to speak with a zookeeper;saw plenty on my own just walking around the zoo. As far as animal behavior, I saw lions roaring, sea otters trying to build a resting place, gorillas who wanted to duke it out with a fight, donkeys giving eachother a hicky, lol, rhino moms and babies, a gorilla trying to put a t-shirt on itself and making cover with a plastic blanket to protect itself from the rain, and an elephant eating with its trunk. All very cool to watch and I did get video footage which I will be posting soon. Also, my friend and I got to feed a Giraffe and it was so..cool, the tongue was purple and like a foot long! Concerning human-interaction, I saw kids who were afraid to go near animals, children immitating animal behavior, and children mesmorized by seeing certain animals. Overall, it was my favorite Psychology experience so far and it was fun to be able to spend the day with one of my best friends at the zoo just the two of us and have some lunch. Right now, I am still trying to decide on my subfield choice for this week, considering my animal theme this week was awesome!
