June 11, Columbus Zoo

I spent some time at the Columbus Zoo June 11th. That was before the zoo officially opened to members, but this was one of two "volunteers and families" days, and I have a relative who is a newly-qualified docent.

The hyenas were eating, and we could hear them crunching their bones.

There are two baby vervet monkeys. The troop came out of the chute from their building with babies hanging under their moms.
