Our favorite part of the Cincy Zoo was the new Giraffe Feeding Deck. The girls got to feed them for free. We got to see three baby red river hogs and a baby takin. Cincinnati is considered the "sexiest" zoo for their exceptionally good fortune in breeding animals. We saw some mating monkeys and the world's biggest pile of elephant poo. The gorillas were amazing—a huge silverback male, a nursing mama, even a pregnant gorilla! We made it to one of the last Cheetah Encounters of the season and saw two cheetahs running at top speed—quite wild.
