On Friday, January 29th, Joshua and I decided to venture to the Jacksonville Zoo. Our zoo held a special offer that made the tickets only $5 that day- pretty much a college kids’ dream. This was our first time visiting this zoo together and we definitely had the time of our lives.

I think we spent about 20 minutes with the lions just trying to communicate with them and make eye contact. At the end of the day, they’re just big kitties.

Joshua and I found the gorillas to be the most interesting. It’s memorizing to observe their actions and realize how similar they are to humans. In this photograph a mother gorilla is giving her baby a piggy-back ride.
