Detroit Zoo

Another stop on my summer road trip was the Detroit Zoo in Royal Oak, Michigan. I made lots of new friends that day.

My first stop was to visit one of my relatives. Doesn't he have a nice smile?


There were some free-range peacocks who walked around with us. They make good tour guides, but I didn't like it when they tried to get too close to my lunch!


Speaking of lunch... We got to help feed the giraffes! That is Raspberry eating from his keeper's hand. Raspberry's dad is in front. They have a really nice yard with a big Egyptian palace.


Those horses are wearing some really fancy striped suits! I wonder if they make them in petite hippo sizes?


There appears to have been a multi-roo pile up!


Don't forget the 'Noceroses! They were feeling a little bit shy that day, but they were nice enough to pose for a picture with me.


I made friends with a lot of other creatures, too! I hope I get to go back and visit them all soon!

Mr. McNoceros

Hippo's new friend Mr. McNoceros shared a photo album of his world travels. Hippo thinks it's rather handsome to grow a horn upon one's snout, sort of likely a mustache but without the itchiness.


Mr. McNocerus has seen many famous sights including cathedrals, natural wonders, and a slightly crooked tower. But the coolest has to be the temples of mountain-dwelling space nerds.
