Went to the Great Plains Zoo in Sioux Falls today, since I'm here for the weekend but I don't have to be working. Pretty neat zo
o for such a small city, including some animals I don't get to see at the Denver Zoo, such as wallabies and guanacos (which are the non-domesticated versions of llamas). They're also connected with the Delbridge Natural History Museum, which is "a one-in-the-world collection of 150 mounted animals including 36 vanishing species" (from http://www.gpzoo.org/). It was originally the private collection of an avid hunter through the 1940s-1970s, and after his death it was purchased by a zoo supporter and donated to the zoo.
Some highlights from the visit below, and all the pictures are up on my Picasa page.
