Saturday con't - to Waxahachie
2008.06.08
Here we are looking into the zebra enclosure. You might remember hearing that last July a zebra was killed in a drive-by shooting in Waxahachie. . . this is the farm where the shooting took place. Lorne has since moved the animals farther from the road to keep this from ever happening again.

If you look closely at the top of the dirt rise you will see geese running away from us towards the small lake on the property.

We learned that these male camels do not spit. Instead they lather, foam, and then blow air through their jowls to "distribute" the foamy, snotty, yucky muck all over everything.
For some reason, ALL the camels LOVED Gary. We weren't sure if it was Gary or his hat, but every camel had to follow Gary. . .

If you look close at the camel's mouth he is blowing bubbles of foam, and yes, he is following Gary - again! This is why Lorne had the big stick. He would walk up and push the camels with it to encourage them to go the other way. Bet Gary wished he had the big stick!

While we walked the property the lemurs napped in another shed. Candy and Kathy found the marshmallows and were off for some more lemur time.
