This Sunday, admission to #DenverZoo was free, but it was about 30% less crowded than the previous weekend. Probably due to the weather being significantly colder.

Interestingly, my estimated percentage of Spanish speakers at the zoo jumped from ~25% to ~60%.

Si entiendo estos datos... hablando Español te da resistencia al frío.

Sleepy kangy pictures I took yesterday, topical for FebROOary (Osphranter rufus)

A part of me can’t believe that my local zoo actually did this, but then if it helps bring a spotlight to a critically endangered species, I guess I’m all for it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

#DenverZoo OMG, I forgot to mention the crown jewel of the zoo, which is that they have a BLUE TONGUED SKINK (Northern) and therefore clearly have their priorities in order. Good skink. Good zoo. Not sure if it should be in the same enclosure as the frilled lizard, but then, it should really have its own tiny palace made of logs and moss, tbqh.
