The last time I went to a zoo was half my life ago. Gulp. It’s refreshing to know that things are pretty much the same at the Detroit Zoo, except the breathtaking Arctic Ring of Life exhibit. Wow. I think it was everyone’s favorite experience (see below!), but the little birdie seemed a bit more excited about the big blue ball in one of the bear exhibits. She was thrilled to have her theory officially confirmed by the zoological society. Yes, indeed, grizzly bears enjoy the same toys as little human girls. “BALL BALL BALL!!!”
