Quietly exotic
A cute lemur with fluffy white ears held out his little paw to delicately pick the popcorn off my daughter's hand. He then quietly started to eat it while staring at her with interest. We were in the peaceful little Oshawa Zoo and our family enjoyed every minute of it. The most awkward sight was a camel in the shade of a mature tree with lazy black and white cows grazing in the background! Expect donkeys, llamas, goats, antelope, strange rabbits and a wallaby. The cool thing is that kids can feed the animals with popcorn sold on the premises.
