Up Close and Personal
So I am a big fan of the Woodland Park Zoo as you can probably tell already. A few months ago, my mom and I got to go on the Zoo's "Eye to Eye" tour, where we went behind the scenes to feed the hippos and giraffes. I love giraffes, and hippos are pretty interesting animals. We learned that they are responsible for the most animal-related deaths in Africa because they are extremely territorial. Also, their skin contains a natural antibiotic so when they get in fights with one another, the gashes in their skin heal in just a couple days.
