Note to self: Oakland Zoo + hot summer day = very good chance of heat exhaustion. Symptoms liable to last several times as long as time spent in sun.

If not for that, might have gotten to see more of zoo. Did, however, get to see the important parts, i.e. the large kitties. Mmmmmmmmmm, kitties. Also discovered that elk make really weird sounds. Had not realized, however, that giraffes' natural habitat consisted mostly of sand and palm trees.

Er...that was sarcasm. Giraffes are creatures of the savanna, but the habitat the zoo had them in looked more like a San Diego beach. The palm trees were just for shade, as far as we could tell; the giraffes were fed out of little boxes attached to the walls at head height.
