So You Think You Wanna See Some Animals, Eh? Your Guide to the Atlanta Zoo!
Let's face it, Netflix is cool and all, but there's something undeniably thrilling about seeing a real-life lion roar, an elephant flick its ear, or a panda...well, mostly just shuffle and munch on bamboo (but they're adorable while doing it, so sue me). That's where the Atlanta Zoo swoops in to save the day (or maybe more accurately, the weekend)!
What's the Zoo Got, You Ask? Buckle Up, Buttercup!
The Atlanta Zoo isn't messing around. They've got a whole world of creatures great and small waiting to be discovered. Here's a sneak peek:
QuickTip: The more attention, the more retention.
- African Savanna: Ever wanted to go on a safari without the whole "risking-your-life-by-leaving-the-jeep" thing? This exhibit is your chance! See giraffes casually munching leaves that would make your neck ache just looking at them, elephants giving each other mud baths (because apparently those guys are fancy), and a whole bunch of other amazing animals who call Africa home.
- Ford African Rain Forest: Feeling like Indiana Jones but with less snakes (although, there might be some cool snakes here too, who can say)? This rainforest is teeming with life, from playful gorillas (who knew they were such goofballs?) to colorful birds that look like they escaped from a living rainbow.
- Giant Panda Conservation Center: Let's be honest, the main reason most of us are here. These cuddly black and white bears are like living breathing teddy bears, and Atlanta Zoo is one of the few places in the US where you can see them. Just be prepared for them to spend most of their time chilling (because, well, that's what pandas do best).
