Abidjan Zoo and our Bird

We took a trip to the zoo here in Abidjan. We had a fun morning. Caleb and I got to see a snake strike and eat a small chicken, sorry no pictures of that it was too fast. Caleb shook hands with a Chimp. Karis got up close to a peacock and they both got to ride this massive turtle that was 109 years old and still going strong.
We also got to feed this elephant a bunch of leaves and pet his hairy trunk. Did you know that elephants have long hard whiskers that run down their trunks?




The last picture is of a beautiful bird that stays around our house a lot. It is very hard to get a picture of it because it is scared of people. You can click on the picture to see the picture a little larger. It is a very pretty bird. There are also a lot of crows that fly around here that are black with white on its front and strips of white that loop over the tops of its wings. It makes it look like it is wearing a muscle shirt. I just thought you might to take a look at our zoo and some of the wildlife around our house.
