So as Kongo heads out the door to the zoo to visit the animals in the late afternoon light Mrs. Kongo says, “You just keep taking the same pictures of the same old monkeys. Pretty soon they’ll be saying, ‘Hey, Kongo, where have you been?” The same old monkeys? This was lost on Kongo who then became determined to avoid his favorite spots on the Monkey Trail. Coming up from Fern Canyon he did spy this old gal but (for the information of Mrs. Kongo!) this is NOT A MONKEY. It’s a orangatan. He did see some other cool animals who seemed more active than they are during the day. Hippos, koalas at their newly constructed enclosure, and a couple of sexy sagos. Read on.







The San Diego Zoo is open till 9 PM during the summer months. It’s a great time to visit. Much fewer guests make it easier to get a good view of the animals and you can park up close to the entrance.
Travel safe. Have fun. Be nice to monkeys.
Such a sad face on that orangutan. Needs a cuddle! 🙂
I thought so too. I think life as a zoo animal could be pretty boring with people looking at you every day all day.
Love the hippos!
