After yesterdays remarks about the lack of megafauna in our area, I felt I should show that there are still a nice selection of large and exotic animals to be found in the area. Though the zoo here is on the remote eastern outskirts of the city and not very accessible, we did get out there last summer with some friends to have a look around. Above are some neat cattle we had never heard of before which look quite a bit like Tim Curry from 'Legend' (mercifully the animal kingdom doesn't have any cattle that look like him from 'Rocky Horror')
One of our favorite creatures we never knew existed, the Mara (in the back), is a Patagonian rodent that looks like a cross between a rabbit and a kangaroo. We've seen them in Toronto and Prague as well and they never fail to delight. And a cabybara never hurt either.
And just to prove that they have anything typical to zoos, here's a giraffe right before feeding time.
