This is the baby giraffe. He was out with his parents. Those doors behind him lead to a barn-like building where they can go inside if the weather gets bad.
Yes, that is a live animal sitting on the rail outside the cages. One of the tamarins got free somehow, and a zoo-keeper was trying to lure him back to his enclosure. There was a little one year old boy next to me who started waving at it saying, "Hi monkey!"
They have this incredible inflatable enclosure where they butterflies just roam around free. One landed on my shoulder, but I couldn't get the right angle to take a picture.
The poor camels had a very small enclosure, but they seemed to be enjoying their afternoon in the sprinkling rain.
Gorillas weigh 175 kilograms. I have no idea what that works out to in pounds. I weigh 78 kilograms, which makes a nice comparison, I think. I didn't get a picture of the gorilla, though. He was being shy.
