Zoo and Things

Who can tell me what this is?

So we went to the zoo/aquarium/botanical gardens yesterday. ABQ did this right. For $12 each we got entry to all three and a train ride between them. The zoo and the aquarium were both pretty cool. The gardens were ok too, just not my thing.














They have steel wolves out here. With steel cojones.......


Hey, I see you!








Cool day all in all.

Maybe its a yak...yuk. Boy that does seem like a real cool place to live. Why don't you try some fishing. Wish we had some of that cool weather back here. I have always wanted to visit Taos, I know you will like it also.

Take care, Pop

Negative. It's in the goat family from the himalays. Next guess?

Talkin' about takins
With horns like a wildebeest, a nose like a moose, a tail like a bear, and a body like a bison, the takin (rhymes with rockin') looks like a character from Dr. Seuss! This large, muscular hoofed mammal is closely related to the musk ox of North America and Greenland. It is sometimes referred to as a goat antelope because it has things in common with both goats and antelope.
Did you have any doubt the crazy critter lady would find it?
