Zoo Views

[urbpan]

Whatever your views are on zoos, it's hard to argue with the experience of seeing a capybara in a field of daisies.



Also at Stone Zoo, a bloom of coprinoid mushrooms growing from the rootball of a fallen tree. True Coprinus mushrooms grow from feces or rich soil, other Genera like Coprinellus grow from the base of trees--even, apparently, when the base is elevated.


I opened the gate for the Franklin Park Zoo train and the driver offered me a ride! I didn't have far to go but I'd never been on: if I get an offer to do something I've never done, I usually do it.

Capybaras are cool. I like their stoic expression. I showed a vid of them to my fella recently and he was all like "what THE FUCK is that??" Haha.

How very weird: Little Springtime was just tweeting capybaras. Is it capybara day or something?

My picture got reshared on tumblr, too, and there seems to be a lot of capy attention out there right now. Must be a creature of the moment.
