The weather was a little bit warmer in Knoxville, so we got to see most of the animals. Black Bear Falls is the first exhibit you see when you enter the zoo, and it's great. Four big, black bears walking around—you could see their breath! The Red Panda Village was neat. We saw six of them—that's the most we've ever seen at a single zoo. Six lions too—that's a lot. Our favorite part of the zoo was George, the four-month-old chimpanzee. He was soooo cute! We got to see his mama nurse him. And his toddling antics cracked us up. Our littlest one was sick (fever/cold) and fell asleep before the end of the zoo, but she (and we!) still had a great time.
