Thanks to Disney's Animal Kingdom!

Post by ktulu » Tue Jun 03, 2008 10:24 pm

Disney's Animal Kingdom has sent Dallas a new hairy friend, and no, it is not Big Wallaby. The Dallas Zoo got two female gorilla's, one of them from DAK, to give the bachelor male some friends. They do not plan on breeding them due to the number of silver backs in captivity, but I'm sure they will all be happy anyway :)

Gorillas are endangered, and we need more of them in the world. I'd like to see someone try to break up a pair of gorillas with romance on their minds. :eek:

Hey you can take the flats to see them and see if the female recognizes WW...LOL
Speaking of small visitors we are hosting a traveling Minnie plush this coming week, I dont have the flats but I will take Minnie's pic with a pic of them so you all can see her.

I want to know too...if they are for company only how will they keep them apart if things get a bit "heated" ? LOL

Nah, the flats won't be able to make it to the Dallas Zoo, but the did visit the Fort Worth Zoo :) Dallas Zoo still needs lots of work, we went earlier this year and it still just wasn't up to my standards. Plus they recently lost their lion (my fav) and one of their elephants. Not the zoo's fault, but just a couple more strikes against them. However, they DO have a monorail!

Hose? Really, really big stick? Photos of his mother in law? Margaret Thatcher naked on a cold day?

Just remember the hippos... Disney tried medical birth control with them and had the males and females together. Fourteen baby hippos later...

That reminds me... if you are in the area, go on the Safari! There are greater flamingo chicks that just hatched in the last couple weeks.


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?
