Kokomo and Monroe

I spent a great day at the Safari Park with my friend, Yoli.  She's also a SD Zoo volunteer, however, we were at the Park today as "tourists", not volunteering.   We both enjoyed watching the gorillas and were at their area in time to see the keepers throwing treats down to them.  Today's treat was magnolia leaves, sometimes it's lettuce and lots of other green veggies, or carrots and tomatoes.    This is always a great time to see the baby, Monroe (now 8-1/2 months old).    He was watching Mom eat the bark off the branch, then he started to do the same.   Kokomo continues to be a good Mom.  Here are  my favorite photos from the morning.
