With my two older girls home from college, I have extra options for zoo companions! Emma volunteered to travel to Apple Valley with me today.

We started in Discovery Bay, where we came across this little bat ray seemingly trying to get out of the pond.

Today on the Tropics Trail, this black and white colobus monkey reminded me of a woman reclining in an impressionist painting ... a little like Edouard Manet's Le Repose (Portrait of Berthe Morisot).

We were lucky in catching the random movements of the white-cheeked gibbons.

Emma and I grabbed our obligatory selfie with this red ruffed lemur.

Things were loud on the Minnesota Trail.  Listen to this gray wolf (and others) howl!
