Utah Hogle Zoo

I just happened to have a Saturday off a couple weeks ago so we decided to go to the zoo because Jeff is on the Dive Team, so we get in for free and we just love the zoo.

When we first arrived all the animals were sleeping boring so after walking all around we decided to eat then walk around again to see if animals were more awake.

We love the new restaurant because it overlooks the elephant exhibit and we watched the baby elephant roll in the mud. We also saw an elephant want to see a trainer so badly that she kept blowing her trunk.

Every time we go to the zoo there is a different animal that we learn more about. Last time it was the female lions and we played with them and it was awesome. This time, it was the rhinos. We learned that the only difference between the white rhino and the black rhino are their lips. We ended up watching them eat for 10 minutes in that little rock peephole. I had never really thought about how big they are because they've always been next to elephants and they are little compared to them, but rhinos are huge animals!

Anyway, it was a nice relaxing day and we've decided that anytime we go, we will go later in the day when it cools down.
