I wish I were kidding, I really do...
I went to the zoo on Saturday with Mr. P and our new friends Kyle and Kristin. We had an awesome time! The little monkeys were giving my husband high-fives against the glass when he would put his hand up to them. A giant crane charged us when Drew held his hand out to him. The male tiger walked about his cage, growling something fierce. And... two female gorillas pleasured each other.
We came to the gorilla enclosure and were waiting for the silverback to turn around so we could see his face when two cute younger gorillas came in to the area giving each other piggy backs and playing around, and the silverback left the area. Then one of the little females lay on the ground and the other lay in the reverse position and they "cleaned" one another. Then they switched positions, who was on top, and went from standing to laying all the while making thrusting motions. It was SHOCKING. It was only a few moments. But, it was startling all the same. I finally became a little more than uncomfortable and pulled my group away.
What has been seen cannot be unseen.
Thank goodness for adorable things like otters and meerkats to throw a little acid on my brain.
The zoo to an adult is an interesting place. Much like my view on old Disney movies has changed, so has my view of the zoo. No longer is it a place where you can just see some awesome wild animals, but now it has become a place where you can watch wild animals get freaky.
I think I will wait a while before I return. The zoo is a little jaded for me now.
