Yesterday we went to the Toronto Zoo with Marty’s friends and their kids, and being a Sunday in mid-July… it was packed. We had found some coupons (see image inlay) to save the kids’ admission, which worked no problem, no questions asked.
On top of regular admission, there was a shark and stingray exhibit that cost an extra $3.00 so three of us opted out while the rest (kids) went ahead to see it.
Everytime I go to the Zoo, there always seems to be some kind of construction happening… this time, among renovating a few other sections, they were working on a new polar bear area, so they didn’t have the bears out at all for viewing.
We ended up missing the Canadian Domain, as it’s so far out of the way and we were running late into the day.

The Americas revealed the strangest thing I think we saw all day (and because of it I’m upset I didn’t have a camera - it was just so odd…) - a dead goat in a tree, it’s hind leg setting broken at a strange angle. How morbid! We looked around to see if anyone else was noticing this, but nobody seemed to until they saw us all standing, staring up. Then some lady leans over to me and says “that’s not REAL… is it?” I didn’t know what to say to that as I looked over at my present company and we started to laugh, thinking “no… the Zoo has a tendancy to put FAKE dead goats in trees” haha! WTF?

Seriously though… how did it get up there, and why did it seem that we were the only ones to notice? Unfortunatly we forgot to ask about it on our way out… maybe I should give them a call today? 

Great day altogether, apart from a rough drive home after dinner at the Bordwalk Pub in the beaches… hope to do it again sometime.

After sending the zoo an email about the goat, I received a reply.
