Trip to Peru III

On another outing to the city, we were privy to visit the zoo in Miraflores. Having only ever been to the Emperor Valley Zoo, I was in awe at the vast expanse of this one.

There was a huge variety of animals, and they each had their own particular traits that defined them from the others. One of the most memorable to me was a particular monkey who managed to get his hands on a half empty bottle of Inca Kola. The evil person who threw the bottle beyond the moat knew very well what he was doing. The monkey spent his time knocking the bottle against whatever surface he came in contact with. I have to admit, it was a most hilarious sight, but at the same time, I did feel like jumping that moat to help out the monkey.

Some of the other creatures we saw at the zoo included llamas of various breeds, eagles, hawks, a black leopard, snakes, a wide variety of monkeys and several other creatures.

A very amazing part of the zoo was the section with the Botanical Gardens. This section was incredibly heavenly and had such aesthetic value. Everything seemed to be in total sync, as the greenery and waterfall served to offset the arid and overly brown earth around it.
