Calgary Zoo

We have taken Gideon to the Calgary Zoo several times. He watched the zookeepers take the King penguins on a walk. We talked about the four different kinds of penguins and their different habitats. Gideon asked what a habitat was, and we explained that it was a place where an animal lives. Gideon asked if our house was our habitat.
We also visited the North America exhibit, and talked about bison and how the female bison looked different from the male bison. We also visited the wolf exhibit, and Gideon asked why wolves were so mean. We talked about how they were not vicious animals, but rather wild animals. We also visited several other exhibits, including the otters, the snow leopard, the monkeys, the giraffes, the hippos, the komodo dragons, and others.
