Yesterday we saw sea lions,

Yesterday we saw sea lions, penguins, puffins, colobus monkeys, bats, polar bears, river otters and a very lazy red panda.

Red pandas look like oversized red raccoons that lumber around like house cats in slow motion.

We were in the city... the Central Park Zoo. We nearly accidentally stumbled into it. We were looking for a movie theatre.

Though the zoo's animals are pretty much limited to those I just mentioned, there's a magical quality to seeing sea lions gliding through their tank, New York's skyline above them.
