We have just become new members to the Potter Park Zoo of Lansing. It's a fun park, but way smaller than I'm used to. There are many animals here that I had never heard of before. It seems that in order for animals to survive in this climate they have to be able to brave the cold. That is why a lot of the animals are from the Asian continent. Sadly, there are not many from Africa. That was always my favorite route to take at the Phoenix Zoo. No elephants, zebras, giraffe, etc. (somehow we can have lions, tigers, and rhino, hmmmm) I was desperately hoping for my favorite elephant, but no such luck. Instead we get red panda, snow leopard, kangaroo, arctic fox, reindeer, bongo, penguin, binturong, and muntjac. Interesting and fascinating animals. A bongo is a red striped animal that resembles an antelope, binturong is sometimes called a bear-cat (though it is not related to either), and a muntjac is a miniature-looking deer, but not. It'll be a fun zoo. We'll be able to see everything each time, unlike Phoenix, where you pick 1-2 routes and save the rest for next time.
