Over Christmas break we had a great day at the Fort Worth Zoo. We've heard great things about this zoo since moving here and it did not disappoint. From swinging monkeys, roaring lions, and up close bird encounters it was a such a fun day. While at lunch before we hit the zoo we asked the kids what animal they would be if they could be any animal. The answers might surprise you a little...Abby said she would be a elephant because she could step on her prey. McKenna would be a giraffe because they have long necks. Zachary wanted to be a bird so he could fly high in the sky. And Bret would be an Ape because they are the most like humans and live in family units.
The kids loved seeing how the giraffe had to spread the front two legs apart to bend down to eat some grass.
This is the Sandhill Crane, one of the most ancient birds and native to Texas. Did you know that cranes mate for life, have 2 eggs a year and care for their young until they are 10 months old?

Check out the wingspan of these Cranes!
You know it's been a good day when everyone crashes hard in the car...I don't know how she can sleep in this position!
